In your changelog, explain why you're doing things differently from how
some people will suggest. That way, when new people read the new thread
started by your new patch, they see the results of the previous cycle and
don't rehash old arguments. This also means that people in the future
wondering why the code is weird there can find out without extensive
mailing list searching.
