Rafael, let me (again) re-write the patch description. I think Saravana has
raised an important issue that I have not clearly identified why it is safe to
remove this code in my patch description. Also, I want to clearly identify the
appropriate -stable releases to push this out to.

I'll submit a [v3] later today or tomorrow.
