I think you misread or misunderstood my comment, which was that
secondary information should follow primary information in the commit
message. I did not suggest moving it below the "---" line.
"No functional changes intended" is meaningful and belongs in the
commit message, but it's not as important as the explanation and
justification of the change.

You're right. This one does align properly. Sorry for the noise.
(Of the two pointed out in patch 6/9, the first one also aligns
correctly; but the second does not.)
