Hi Michael, Andras,

Thanks for cherry-picking.
To put it with Joel Spolsky: "Users can't read" (linked to the
corresponding article further up in the thread). So it does make sense
to keep text as short as possible. Anyway, I do understand your
reasoning for not pushing the change in 3.5 (in 3.6, it would be good
to see the change, though).

Hm, right, we (that'd be Josh, Christoph, William and me, possibly
others, too) changed that dialogue twice in the 3.5 cycle. I am
unsure, though, if the number of people who discussed this really
merits a mention in 3.6 release notes (as it's not in 3.5, as Andras
said).

Astron.
