I guess there is  no particular reason not to change  this message if its
current wording really bothers some people, however I would like to point
out that it is not a grammar  mistake. A grammar mistake is when you say,
for instance, "I  will buy a house when  I will be rich". If  you use the
wrong tense  and just  end up  not saying  what you  should have  said or
wanted  to  say,  you  have  screwed up,  not  made  a  grammar  mistake.
Incidentally, one  amusing property  of this mailing  list is  that every
time someone complained about a point  of grammar, there was at least one
glaring error in the plaintiff's message.
