Right: SUM(+1 clarity, -0.5 redundancy) = +0.5 :)

So the policy you're suggesting is: "When backporting bug fixes from trunk to a 
patch version, make note of the change in both the trunk and patch version 
sections of CHANGES.txt", right?

Makes sense (though as I noted, this policy has never before been used), but 
why then did you include only 5 out of the 15 bug fixes listed under 2.4.1 in 
the Trunk section?
