They are the same meaning...

A double-negative can be an informal way of reinforcing a negative, but
can sometimes mean the positive.  So this change would remove a minor
ambiguity.  However I think it should be clear that it is not compulsory
to add new members to the structure. ;-)

After all of this discussion, I think I'm going to keep this comment
as-is. :-)
