That said (by David) I'm happy w/ your revised patch set, provided you
also add a NEWS patch, on top of 'release' branch.


For writing NEWS patch: NEWS patches should be written by the one authoring
the corresponding change. And everyone else judges whether the NEWS are
good enough, and the iteration goes on. Finally unless NEWS are
satisfactionary, the patches in question are reverted from the repository >;D
I.e. ease the work of maintainers by providing relevant NEWS by the time of
release :D
