Please note that the fortunes removed were submitted by Ganbold some
time ago. The things went as follows:

- Ganbold posted a PR on adding quotes from Chinggis Khan;
- the original version of the quotes was in rather poor English;
- grog@ committed the patch as is without any corrections and left it to rot;
- now Ganbold has got his commit bit and wants to finish the task he
initially suggested.

So I think Ganbold in a way owns the quotes and it's up to him to
decide what final cut of Chinggis Khan's wisdom to present to the
English-speaking world. Due to poor quality of grog@'s initial commit
(which raised no objections BTW), the quotes had been WIP before this
commit. IMHO this commit isn't covered by the "don't remove fortunes"
rule.
