Oh, wow! I'm really sorry for that one. I really need to get my
email filter working again, cause I keep missing these mails :/

Quite frankly, I don't understand this change either.
Looking back at it now, the only idea that pops to mind is that
opt_conditional_discard did not have this hook in it.
So the two passes do not follow the exact same pattern,
so to not introduce a functional change I removed it.
I don't see a good reason for this change though, so I'm
currently running some tests with this part in,
just to be on the safe side. I'll keep you posted.
