    Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

    It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting
    reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to
    "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change
    anything.

    And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm
    accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US
    thing.

    If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read
    the news some day.  And by "news", I don't mean Russian
    state-sponsored spam.

    As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call
    brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian
    aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of
    history knowledge too.
