Comment:

 In `prop275_minimal_029`, the changes file is confusing to me:

 {{{
 +      [...] This change will
 +      eventually allow us to stop listing meaningful "published" dates
 }}}

 Kind of weird that we want to stop doing something "meaningful" :)...
 maybe it was suppose to be "meaningless" or "useless" or "wrong" or ... ?
 If not, what does that mean exactly?
