The point of that text is that anyone should be able to easily find the
changes just by reading the logs. When we merge stuff between branches,
we always just write which revisions were merged from where and why.
That's a clear pointer to the original logs. You're splitting hairs that
aren't even there.
Furthermore, you're trying to apply a resolved veto to code that was not
covered by it; we all agree that FSX is experimental and who's to know
what further changes will happen to those bits of code in the next
several years? Not to mention the last several days, if you want to be
pedantic about pool usage; it's all in the commit logs.
I'm really getting awfully tired of this constant sniping. Can you
please calm down a bit before you randomly accuse people for doing stuff
that's perfectly in line with our policies? Correction: ONE person;
which is, in fact, quite a bit worse.
