Yes, already fixed in the change page, thanks. :)

I just did the easy part. :) Thanks to the upstream maintainer,
Martin, who has listened to all the feedback I had, fixed a bunch of
things and prepared a new release ready for this proposal in no time.

BTW, I would also like to discuss here, as part of this proposal,
which backend should be the system-wide default. I believe we all
would agree that OpenBLAS nowadays is the best choice. But then, the
serial or the openmp version?
