Ok, I agree this is good practice, but what qualifies a "Fixes:" tag
here?  The fixes reference is incorrect in any case, 6a62c1dfb5c7
changed the creation ordering and didn't update the remove ordering to
match, but I still don't see an actual problem with the remove ordering
that necessitates the tag.  Please clarify.  Thanks,
