Although this is indeed meaningless to DefaultTrust, it's not meaningless to (some) users with a custom Trust list. Due to it's large recursive implications, several people including yahoo62278 had you on their Depth 1 (or Depth 2). If they don't want that, excluding you isn't meaningless to them.
As of last Saturday, yahoo62278 didn't exclude Timelord2067 yet. I can't tell if that changed more recently.
