Thanks for the quick review and the pointer.  However, the pedant in
me notes that either the rule in above URL is somewhat underspecified
(sic! I learned from it ;-)  or there are plenty of matches found by
  grep non- doc/*.texi

that seem to contradict this rule (but look fine to me otherwise).

I don't intend to stir an old discussion again, even less so for
an issue rather similar to the bikeshed's color; so, should I redo
the patch with all "non-" changes removed, but without any other
"non-" changes added?

Cheers, and sorry for all the unintended puns,
Ralf
