Hmm... for doc, it's probably a good idea for *all* strictly-cosmetic 
art to be frozen. This means obvious bug fixes, addition of previously 
missing elements, etc, should be allowed, but changing something for the 
sake of changing it is obviously a gray area. At least, as you say, I 
think it could make sense to limit or disallow changes that have a 
highly visible impact.

I'm with Sebastian though that this particular change was needed. (Btw, 
on that note, someone privately sent me positive feedback on 
http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=24581&action=view; I've no idea 
when or if I'd be able to implement that; anyone want to help out?)
