Perhaps it looks that way because of the way I wrote the ChangeLog entries. I was trying to preserve Dan's original log text, but I think if I just write a log entry from scratch, it will make a lot more sense. But do look at the actual patch, and I think you'll see what I mean. Oh, there is one random fix in linespec.c that should be segregated. I'll fix that. But folks are acting as if it's some kind of horrible HP-style snowball, and that's not so.
