What I think you are not thinking of is that in addition to being a list of things that have changed, it is also a list of changes that have to be done ... often IN PARTICULAR ORDER. As it is, you read down until you hit where you are, then follow the instructions in order. "more difficult" in your argument, but logical. As you propose, you read down until you find where you are not, then change directions and read backwards. That's not intuitive, normal, or reasonable to expect. Most likely, your plan will have people making changes in reverse order...which may often work, but sometimes won't...and won't be the order the developers will be testing. Nick.
