Ah yeah sure, sorry about that.

Dominik (and Dietmar briefly as well) suggested this approach to me and after some thoughts
I agreed this was better. Since this came from 'higher up', the 'why' was somewhat settled,
at least in my head, and I guess that's why I kinda forgot to explain it in the commit message.
Of course you are a 100% correct, the rationale should be included in the commit log for future reference.
I'll wait for further reviews and then try to expand the commit messages for a v2, if that's alright with you.

Thanks!
