“non-Unix” was poor wording. What I was trying to imply was the fact that the 
commit message described what was done, but not what or what could be gained 
after the commit.

If I tried explaining this information to someone who had no idea what terminfo 
was, they would be puzzled about what was gained through this commit.

Put differently: if I had to explain to my non-technical friends what I was 
doing with this commit message alone, I would probably receive very puzzled 
looks from them.

Cheers,
