The author explained his motivation for the commit in the mailing list before it got applied:

If I understand correctly, executing a lob call would trigger two user confirmations in the past, and this commit was meant to suppress one of the two confirmations. (I may be wrong since I am a fairly new user of org mode.) Now there is no confirmation at all. IMHO, there should be exactly one confirmation ideally.

But you are right, I should just copy the author on this.

Thanks,
Ruiyang
