Can't answer right now, I will think about it when/if I will actually try to
make this change ;) This "TODO" note just tries to explain what else we could
try to do, and "probably" means that I am not sure yet. I can remove this spam
from the changelog, but I'd prefer to keep it as a reminder, at least for myself.
