How the patch it botched?
1- Patch doesn't apply cleanly.
2- Semantically incorrect.
3- Completely erroneous.
4- Code is not formatted correctly.
...
I admit the following errors in the changelog:
a- Missing ":" after the file name and before the descriptive text.
b- Insuffient detail.
Do you use the term 'canonical' to mean 'simplified' or rather
'conforming to a general rule'?

Excellent.
Thanks for you time Roland.
Cheers,
