Exactly, this is how I mark the cut out text.

Well, it's still better than leaving large patches quoted and uncommented,
having only one comment at the top, as some people do. :-)

You at least should have noted that in the changelog. And as the change is
unrelated to the other changes you're doing, it's a good practice to put it
into a separate patch.
