Just two more things:

* "Now" means Isabelle/e64ffc96a49f -- The issue of proper references to changesets is a running gag on isabelle-dev already. If you want, you can make it the discriminating aspect between the two mailing lists: isabelle-dev = proper hg ids, isabelle-users = some official release (implicit). This does have a real practical impact, because old mail threads are often studied later, e.g. 2 weeks or 2 months or 2 years. For official releases the date stamp is sufficient, for continuous development proper ids are required.

* The log entry for e64ffc96a49f is merely a rewording of the diff in English prose, i.e. empty. There is an art of writing in half a sentence what was done and why, to a give a hint to the one who needs to understand things later (often many years). There is also a realistic danger of fluctuation of small mishaps back and forth, if the history does not explain the reasons.
