It's probably just easier what a change is for[1] if it's small and 
self-contained, with a description (commit message) of what it's supposed to do.
But that's just a guess, you'd have to ask Thomas Lindquist since he's the one 
that usually merges new frontend versions.

change in the backend (if anything).
