I'll swap the sections in the future then. ;-) Frankly I was not sure
whether the changelog was happy about being fed with lengthy explanations
and it has not spoken out.
I have to admit this is a habit carried over from the FSF-style ChangeLog
-- where the enforced rule is actually *not* to provide any explanation
for why changes are done and only describe what has been modified (with
any discussion around archived in the respective mailing list).

Thank you and sorry for the extra work I caused you -- I shall keep your
suggestion in mind in the future.
