Why is that here in the changelog text?

And look at the subject, does it match the style of other commits in
this subsystem?

That says what this does, but not _why_ you are doing this.

Also, please always wrap your text at 72 columns, like your editor tried
to get you to do when you committed this :)

Your tabs were eaten and spaces were spit out, making this patch
impossible to apply :(

Please fix this all up, and do a v3 of the patch, and document what
