Yes.  It is a fix for:

2332: Allow reorder of Data in the Data tab of Source

https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=2332

I didn't remove the fix.  I just removed all GEPS 018 related code.

I still think that GEPS 018 needs more thought.  It should wait until v4.2.

We need to be careful here.  Once we add defaults, they are difficult to 
remove later.

Didn't Tim's solution involve loading source attribute types from a 
template?
