Commit should stand on its own. Many reviewers do not read cover letter,
I mostly ignore it and only check the changelog part.

I speak about the commit msg, not changelog. According to this commit,
there is absolutely no reason to keep prog_b name. This goes to git
stays there and later someone will check the history and will have the
same concerns: why the hell new binding was allowed to use underscore?
Why DT maintainers gave here exception? If they gave here exception, I
deserve exception as well. Such arguments are brought at least once per
month.

Your commit must stand on its own.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
