I opted for the second choice, since most of what I've heard so far is
"it works for me with this change."

I left the check in comments, with a note about when it was commented out and
why it was ever there.

I'll wait a while before removing it completely.  My guess is that the broken
behavior from 2007 is long gone in all recent versions of OSen, so it'll
probably be safe to remove even the comments.
