I'm trying to figure out why your original commit was a problem.  I
understand why it was questioned, but once the answer came out, it's
clear that the code you originally committed does what it's supposed to
without any harmful side effects.  Sure, freebsd doesn't strictly need
it, but the code is shared among projects, so what's the harm in the
extra check that helps other projects sharing the code?  It's certainly
a lot less confusion and code clutter than any of the "remedies" that
have been discussed.
