Those functions seem to have little to do with each other; yes.  So I've
now removed the reference.

It was added with a reference to bug 1806, which is a 170 message long
thread which I've not read.  I've Cc'd Juri (who made the change) in
case the reference makes sense anyway, in which case I'll revert my
change.
