Picking this as just one example, definitely do not want to pick
this commit in particular or you, Olivier!


Let's get better at documenting infrastructure commits (especially).

Sometimes it is important/useful to log at the log, and "fix typo"
(which I've seen a fair bit lately) is not helpful at that. Unless
it's a comment, but even then "Fix typos in comments" or "Fix typos
in description of..." is more useful.

And even when looking at the commit, a bit more guidance what to
look for is helpful.

	it comes to the gcc*-devel ports following snapshots, but 
	tries hard in other cases)
