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,
