Err, yes, you need to revert now :-).  Guess that message could be
clearer... (we didn't disable directory deletion entirely, because we
wanted the test suite to keep testing it.  OTOH, it's looking
increasingly likely that the various annoying little directory bugs
will need to be handled on a branch in any case, so maybe we should
just disable it on mainline.)
