This is a lazy changelog really.
'This is the correct patch' has no technical value.
What is VLA ? Sure, _now_ its pretty clear since we have floods of these patches, but...
In one or two years, people reading it will not understand the logic of this patch.
I had to look at the source to understand what was going on, and that is not a good sign for a trivial patch like that.
