Hi Ashutosh,

Thanks for the review. I've updated the commit message per your suggestion — your version is clearer, so I've adopted it as-is.

Regarding the test comment: I kept the original wording. The current comment already describes the case accurately (zz is orphaned because it's only associated with the dropped
label t3l2, while x is not orphaned because it remains associated with t3l1), so I left it unchanged.

No worries — if a rebase is needed later, I'll take care of it.

Attached is the updated patch, rebased on the current master.
