Gerald - Sorry for the delay following up on this.
Regarding your comment, I think a shorter version doesn't quite convey the
information I wanted it to have. I.e. what happened, what's the impact to
developers, and what's the benefit to users.
I reordered the second and third sentences to address your concern about
confusion. Does this read better? Okay to install?
Thanks,
