How does the fact that the code 'had not been touched in months' justify
a change ? I can't follow that logic.
The particular change I was replying to wasn't addressing a bug. And
if you think it was (or say, you think your code is more efficient than
the old one), *please discuss*. I'd be happy for the code to evolve, but
there is a chance that you overlooked some detail which a review will
reveal.

Was there an actual bug ? What was the symptom ? 'fixing the unregistering
process' is pretty vague.

yes, and I'm not suggesting that your code is incorrect. I just want the
change to be explained better. The change itself together with this fuzzy
commit log didn't tell me much about what you did or why.
