Hmm, there are no e-mails from me in the PR trail and I don't recall ever be 
in favor of these changes (though I don't care enough to ask for them to be 
backed out..  Only really old machines with pre-1995 BIOS should be broken in 
theory.)  It would be nice if you wouldn't claim that I supported something 
that I didn't actually support though.
