Undo however is in the UI almost always associated with
"one step back", whereas doing more settings would undo
more than one step back while still giving the impression
of single step back. Eg. if the user bothers with many settings,
then does one wrong, thinks undo undoes that one step
but all his setting get reset after pressing it.

I think that particular change is rather a step back (heh).
