Another issue onto the list of thousands, to collect dust for the 
next few years til someone decides they want to use their 
personal time to fix it. Just to highlight another problem, 
there's a lot of trivial to fix issues. Just maintenance really, 
like that one you posted. But there is no one going through 
fixing them. Well that one might end up getting fixed cause of 
the extra exposure.
