Correct. > But it's possible that if someone isn't using this feature, or it's not defaulted etc. that a crash is caused without good reason? Yes. For this particular case, it does not matter too much, but in general, there is always a change that `<variable> == null` so you it's just best practice to not use `<variable>.equals(...)` w/o a `null` check for `<variable>` (by flipping to `<constant>.equals(...)` we don't need the `null` check and are safe.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
