The extra comma you added in the libassuan entry makes it worse, not 
better. Generally less commas is a better editorial choice, written 
English is not supposed to emulate the same cadences as spoken English.

Also, as much as I am supportive of the idea of improving our 
documentation, I'm not sure that the value of constantly revising old 
UPDATING entries exceeds the cost of the churn in the repo.
