I doubt any person contributing to the mailing is making the code
deliberately worse.

And I certainly did not ignore any improvement on the list. I responded
to the suggestion, I just disagreed it's actually an improvement.

In my opinion differences of opinion must be tolerated.

And I don't think any of that belongs in the commit message. "Gives a
more descriptive name to the variable" (in your opinion) should be
enough.

Anyway, I like the fact that your opinion and my opinion are clearly
demarcated in two different commits.

Cheers.
