I do not think you should (be able to) make such a change without a new
Last Call, and I disagree with the separation. Reasons include that it's
unclear which relation you use if you have one disclosure where many
patents are disclosed; would that be "disclosure" because it's just one
disclosure, or would it be a "disclosure-list" because many patents are
disclosed? On the German Wikipedia people are even used to flamewars
concerning List articles that have no or just one item, where some ar-
gue that you need at least two items to have a list. In this sense you
could probably always use 'disclosure-list' in place of 'disclosure' if
you think empty and single item lists are meaningful concepts.
