"Yes." You mention it as if something was done explicitly to account for
those differences. And then fail to say, what / how. My assumtion is
that this comes from the commit text style (see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst). Please use imperative
language rather than descriptive. It will make such questions go away.
