I think you are misreading the diff; the line:
  "If a change fixes a test, mention the test in the ChangeLog entry."
has *not* been removed; it just happens that the next line starts with
its exact same words ("If a change fixes a").  I don't find this
confusing, but if you do, feel free to suggest alternative wordings.

Thanks,
