Hi Jess and Warner,

Since the "stable/14" branch has not been made as it should, the 12th of 
May 2023, I'll revert this change, so it doesn't  flow into there.

Still, when commit messages are not clear, the FreeBSD way to handle 
that is by follow-up e-mails. Not so often I see people re-applying 
commits, because the commit message is wrong. As long as the code 
changes made er OK, the commit message is secondary.

Honestly speaking, I see no code technical reason for immediate action 
on this issue. But I'll respect Jess's wish as a member of the FreeBSD 
team, even I don't agree about this decision.

--HPS
