Our changes list is not really ordered in strict reverse chronology for
the reader.  That's the way it is accumulating (unless several changes
to one area are getting conflated, in which case changes may appear well
below the top).

I don't see "following" as indicating a time order, and "below" is not
really specific.  I'd have no qualms doing a one-word change without
rerunning reviews, but I don't think that the one-word change "below"
carries the full information, and "next change below" is not much
better.  So unless I get a wording that fares better in terms of being
understandable, I'd lean towards sticking with the current text.

I think people can be expected to read from top to bottom, and I find
specifying things in terms of reading order most natural.
