I think these are good notes, but in this commit I'm merely moving existing lines around in the file so that 2/3 and 3/3 make sense, so I've left any change to the existing text out of v2 of this series. I welcome an effort to improve the existing wording, but I think it's better if you submit your own patch-on-top for that, I'd rather not get bogged down in that any more than I already am :)
