Just a process request: please give these commits proper titles, they 
are not really 'reverts' in the classical sense, and this title hides 
what is being done in the commit. The typical use of reverts is to 
revert a bad change because it broke something. Here the goal is to 
reintroduce functionality.

So please name these 5 patches accordingly, to shed light on what is 
being reintroduced. You can mention it at the end of the changelog that 
it's a functional revert of commit XYZ, but that's not the primary 
purpose of the commit.

Thanks,

	Ingo
