I had an impression that these (wasn't there another one) were
independent discoveries and patching that happened at the same time.

This stops saying that "with scripted version 'add -p' does not
behave in the way we want to see, and we want to leave us a mental

Once scripted version gets fully retired, it of course stops
mattering ;-)

I am not sure if this is a good change, quite honestly.  With
s/failure/success/, perhaps, but not in the posted form.
