Fair enough, but I think in this case it was written in a confusing way. I don't
mind if a list of review comments are included and more text is usally better
in the changeset comment, but it would be nice to give some background, either
by prefixing it with something "Addressed review comments from xxx:" or changing
it to 'This version uses the IEEE-compliant "okay", rather than "ok"'.
