Hi Janil

One of those process things.  Don't reply to a review to say you
are going to do something suggested - just save us all reading an email
by making that clear in the change log for the next version.

Lots of folk are over enthusiastic in replying like you have done initially.
They only begin to appreciate why this is a bad idea when they start trying
to keep up with the mailing list firehoses!
