That's a horrible changelog comment.  So bad that I would rather see an
empty message than this one.  Seriously, it give no description, and
makes us think that the whole patch is obvious, when it really isn't.

What did you change them to?
What did you change them from?
What was your motivation in changing them?
How were you feeling when the names changed?

Ok, maybe not the last one, but you get the idea.

thanks,
