If the answer is "Diffs can be considered a summary", then there is no
need for the clause, because it's trivial for anyone to generate a diff
themselves given two source code releases anyway. If the answer is
"Diffs are not considered a summary", then the clause is problematic for
the reasons I gave in my earlier mail.
We're still waiting for a response from someone at PSF. I may try to
nudge some other people there -- if anyone here knows a PSF'er who can
address the issues raised in this thread, please tap them.
Thanks,
