I can't understand this NEWS item because of all the passive verbs.
The subjects which were omitted are crucial to understanding the
meaning. Can someone explain this to me?
** When using M-x revert-buffer in a compilation buffer to rerun a
compilation, it is now made sure that the compilation buffer is reused
in case it has been renamed.
Please try to *avoid the passive voice* when writing
text for NEWS, for the manuals, and even for comments.
