[Bf-committers] Loopcut - why change select mode when in face select mode?

[(Ry)akiotakis (An)tonis]

There has been an annoying behavior in blender for a few svn releases.
When loopcutting while in face select mode, blender turns to edge
select mode.

Skimming through the code I've seen that this is due to lines 273-284
in loopcut.c

Is this strictly necessary? It's very irritating having to change the
mode manually after a loopcut and simply commenting the lines seem to
work fine.
