This didn't explain the background before that happened. I really want the warm and fuzzies about things, and when I see something being changed just minutes before, something like "I did a rebase becasue XYZ, but this was around in linux-next for a week before that without problems" tells me not only why the times are so recent, but also tells me that I really shouldn't worry because so-and-so.
