It does, nothing should depend on it.

It was the functional change.  I re-reverted, fixed, merged the two
changes in one commit and reapplied in
 1a21355dd1b50a796e35d9fc55c76b94424b126e
I can re-re-revert, split in two and re-apply separately, if needed.

I will redo a proper Changelog entry, but first wait to see if I
rererevert and split before doing it.
