Full QA? For a change in wording? Thats like saying that the book has an extra "the" on page X and to remove the extra "the" we need to re-read the whole book just to make sure that the extra "the" doesnt break any code. Please dont tell me that your serious.
As far as new download locations...fine, I can understand that because of possible code changes or corruption in the zip file. But please dont tell me that re-wording a document to make it clearer has to go through a full QA process. That could be done with a simple deskcheck or even an inspection meeting at most.
