As I said, we are not removing anything from HISTORY[0]. If you are not okay
with that, fine, leave (oh wait, you already did...), but I am tired of hearing
you rant about having something done which we are not about to do (changing
history)[1].

[0] Well, typos can be fixed, but that's not removal.
[1] Yes, yes, we can "put up a page" to explain it all, but then we might as
well keep it in the history files. And Perforce may not always be around, or
the database lost, etc., so that is not a catch all either.
