Because then any module will be able to modify the content of the variable.

The Fixes: is because the last patch on the set is doing a real fix.
If you only cherry-pick the last patch on a stable branch, the build
will fail. (Also, the zero-day builder complains)

Anyway, I think we can hold this patch for a bit. The snd people are
discussing if this the way to handle it, or if we should handle
.shutdown in a different way.

Thanks!
