As far as I could tell, the reason the mask didn't get taken out of the |
| 30 |
profile(s) was that discussion of it was mostly in a meta bug and in a |
| 31 |
bug about stabilization for VLC itself and it's nobody's responsibility |
| 32 |
to track and undo flag masks which are no longer needed. |
| 33 |
|

Ben de Groot is the one who masked it in the first place. There was |
| 35 |
good reason at the time, but there's no good reason I could find to |
| 36 |
continue with it masked. |
