My bad, I got confused with your other patch.

Still, I agree with Jernej, if it's not needed it only complicates the
code for no particular reason. If you need it at some point in the
future, add it then. Otherwise, it's hard to reason about, since we
don't know what are the expectations that those future patches will
bring.
