This didn't explain the background before that happened.

I really want the warm and fuzzies about things, and when I see
something being changed just minutes before, something like

  "I did a rebase becasue XYZ, but this was around in linux-next for a
week before that without problems"

tells me not only why the times are so recent, but also tells me that
I really shouldn't worry because so-and-so.
