Thank you for the FYI

Maybe to everyone let me explain the reason why we even try :-)
In general those kinds of fixes are not "too important" but if they
can be applied it keeps the amount of extra churn lower later on.
Imagine you touch every string with a commit, afterwards nothing will
apply automatically anymore.
So sometimes backporting those changes even if they feel "not
important" can help.
