None of this matters very much. We're not really tracking bugs on multiple
branches...

Not too much so that a single patch can be reviewed in a reasonable time
frame.

It's best if you can separate simple rewording from more significant
changes but it's not absolutely required.

No strong preference here. Just ensure that you don't have very long
lines... but it's not a problem if some lines are shorter because
you added content that you had to wrap but it doesn't fill the whole
new line.

Anyway I merged your patch in the master branch. So it will only be used
for the stretch version of the book (the strings are frozen in the jessie
version, to avoid too much work for translations).

Cheers,
