I don't think I was clear. I advocate the inclusion of this comment. I
was temped to drop this method and Fabio explained why it was need. A
day after, Ashok Kumar Reddy kourla (message id
<4FE52817.1090803 at gmail.com>) sent a patch to drop it too. So it is
clear this needs a comment on code to avoid wasting people time trying
to remove it.
I agree we can work in a way to remove this duplication but let's get
this patch in and later we can clean it.
