 Yes.  It's all patches from non-ACT people to the FSF tree before then
 that need to be checked to make sure they are still in the tree or have
 been superseded by subsequent changes.
 
 I think someone found an example (which may or may not now have been
 unreverted individually) that wasn't among the examples I gave of patches
 wrongly reverted by this change, so it is necessary to do that check
 rather than relying on my list.
