You can get the full patches temporarily from here: Patch 3 sounds like a bad idea. As for whether or not to go ahead: I can personally live with either decision, tho I prefer dropping ChangeLog files from the VCS. But the benefits are likely not high enough to justify alienating other core maintainers, so we should only go ahead if we can get their explicit agreement first. Stefan
