This is sufficient (I have noticed it :-). However, it is too late for 
4.50.

I try to take a neutral stand on issues where there are strong opinions
on both sides ("I really need this feature" vs "that's a crazy thing to
do"). If people are going to patch Exim to achieve what they want, and
the patch isn't totally outragious[*], and it doesn't affect those who
don't configure it, I usually consider it for inclusion. I've put this 
one on the list.

[*] Of course, that's subjective too... and I do have prejudices like 
everyone else. :-)
