Yes - I think so.  (but see below)

The one thing that might be useful for the 'dist' tree
of a patches branch is instructions for what might need
to be changed from the MAIN version.  (Or possibly the
next main release branch).

I take Wes' point about "would it be useful".
But I think we need to balance the general usefulness
of something against the effort needed to maintain it
properly.  For the core elements of the project, the
general usefulness wins hands-down, naturally.
  But for something like this, which is mostly aimed at
the core development team, it seems reasonable to put
a higher priority on the ease of maintenance for us.

Sure.
So there might be a case for including those in the source tarball
as well - I'm currently undecided.  But we should probably try to
keep the contents of this to a minimum.
