https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/542715

This change is in upstream code and will be automatically replaced by the original version on the next update from upstream; local code changes like this will not be retained. I'm reverting it to avoid giving the impression it's expected to stay.

If it's important, please submit changes upstream to https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues so we can use them in future, or set up a local patch using the grunt task if it's important to maintain separately.
