But most importantly, the changelog is confusing: please start the 
changelog with outlining the problem in an easy to digest fashion, 
starting with the highest level problem description and then successively 
iterating down towards the details.

The title says 'fix' so I suppose this fixes something, it doesn't just 
'factor out'?
