Thanks for the link Duncaen.
I'm still not sure what the exact reason was for removing it.
Though I do see that it failed to build on aarch64, according to Travis CI. But I don't know if that was the case before this PR too.
Alright. Pinging @pullmoll @ebfe for review.
I've used this PR for months now without any noticeable breakages. And I'm not sure about the travis error, but it looks like a false positive.
