I think the code referred to is by Greg Stein, who's no shrinking
violet and isn't likely to be hurt by such, um, robust criticism :-).

But in general, let's please be leery of immortalizing that sort of
thing in our commit logs. Maybe save it for IRC, and use a more
circumspect phrasing for the actual commit? (And after all, we let it
into the codebase -- it passed review, presumably.)

Just my $0.02,
