Perhaps a bit of explanation is in order.  Generally speaking, commit logs
should contain about 1/3 of description of what had been done and remaining
2/3 should be devoted to the reasoning (why was it done).

In this particular case, it's completely unclear what's exactly wrong with
VALA support that you'd had to disable it (although I definitely support
having generally useless stuff disabled by default); I'd had to look through
the PR to find mentions of build breakage.
