So one problem with your changelog is that you describe the change but 
don't explain a couple of things - for example why you changed '3600' to 
'1000'.

I know why you did it because I've read the diff and the related code, but 
such kind of information is best put into changelogs.

This is standard review feedback.

I NAK-ed your patch because your patch has several technical problems. To 
lift the NAK you'll need to address my review feedback constructively.

Thanks,
