Yes, installed, thanks.

I replaced the FIXME with just a reference to the bug because with Gnus,
maintaining compatibility is usually what we want to do.  Not to rule
out completely possibly rationalising it, but I think a FIXME is too
strong.

I'm closing this bug since the problem has been fixed.  Probably better
to use another for further changes if someone is keen to make them.
