--- Comment #4 from Warren Block <wblock@FreeBSD.org> ---
Understood, I'm just saying the diff is malformed, showing that the entire file
changed.

That sentence has problems which our fallible human understanding of
parentheses might not be able to cure.  Put another way, there are at least two
sentences worth of stuff crammed into that single sentence.  So I split it up. 
This also avoids asides which divert the reader's attention.

As far as "chrooted", there are several forms, each of which is uglier than the
one before it, but of course only if you line them up that way.  People
sometimes jam an apostrophe in there.  I personally find "chrooted" less ugly
than the alternate forms.  Here, it is not talking about the chroot(8) command,
which could be marked up in DocBook as "<command>chroot</command>ed".  It
appears to me to be using it as an adjective, describing the environment
created by chroot(8).  That sentence does need another comma, though.
