+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
