This commit log doesn't follow the rules of the sections 9.5
and 9.8 of the Committer's Guide:

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#_capitalize_the_first_letter_of_the_subject

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#_limit_messages_to_72_columns

"you become a committer, so you have to follow its rules,
it's not optional." (cit)

And yes, this is ridiculous, because it's more important
the respect between us than those rules.
