A true apology is not riddled with excuses and ultimatiums.

For future reference:
  http://extension.unl.edu/welfare/apology.htm

Since I actually do want it fixed, and do want the attribution, and
do care more about FreeBSD than getting a true apology, I will
accept fixing the TODO as a show of good faith that re@ has accepted
my delta as an actual fix.

I do not accept the apology, as it's rather half-assed and coming
from the wrong person.

Fix the TODO, and forward me the commit log and I'll revert the
commit, or just revert the commit yourself.  I don't really care.
