My note was more of a general reminder: "for the next revisions of your patchsets" above. I simply replied to the first mail with a patch changelog.
Also, maybe our documentation text is not really clear. It says "changed substantially", you understood that as "changed functionally" and I've seen people complain about smaller things. But ok, let's agree on functional changes here.
Thx.
