The comment is misleading because the patch not only moves stuff around,

set.
You are correct that the patch does more than it claims to.
That is an independent fix mentioned in my earlier message
[ref]. We did not have to
pay the overhead of having to call limit_list() when only
min_age was specified because we did not do traversal filtering
using UNINTERESTING logic for min_age, but we called it anyway.
Unlike --max-age that marks an old one _and_ its parents
uninteresting, it needs to filter a young one without making its
parents uninteresting.
