Yes, understood. The reason the changlog is prefereable is that the
NEWS is cumulative, and does not indicate changes between
R-patched_2015-08-26 and R-patched_2015-08-27. Whereas more
information can be gleaned from the changelog entries.


Obviously, this is of very low priority, and if the server refuses to
acknowledge Dr. Murdoch's well-placed steel-toe reminders, getting it
restarted should be deferred as long as is necessary. 8-)

Thank you,

Avi
