If Allan hadn't sent this headsup, would you have noticed the change ?
In other words, is there really such great value in ensuring that

things get actually rearranged, or strings changed, or new
functionality added, but here we are talking about shifting some
whitespace around - everybody who looks at the before and after
screenshots will recognize them as the same dialog...
