Hmm, I don't see much difference in the information you changed.
Is it just a rephrase of the same context? The new text also doesn't
improve so significantly, honestly speaking.
Also the patch description is just a copy of the documentation, which
also doesn't help for understanding about your change. It should
clarify what changed for which reason.
thanks,
Takashi
