    Exactly, this is how I mark the cut out text.

    Well, it's still better than leaving large patches quoted and uncommented, 
having only one comment at the top, as some people do. :-)

    It's the first time anybody tried to iterpret my [...] marks as comments. :-)

   You at least should have noted that in the changelog. And as the change is 
unrelated to the other changes you're doing, it's a good practice to put it 
into a separate patch.
