Android manifest - code removed while removing comments

Hello there,

quick question, I went through AndroidManifest.xml changes and saw this commit: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/a1e7c441de16cb4e8d6bdac39160759116ecd233 - it is supposed to just remove all comments (based on commit message), however, it also removes this line:

<meta-data}}
android:name="android.app.background_running"
android:value="false" />

Is that, please, intentional? Can we remove it from the manifest as well?
