Yes. Our initial desire was to have something very short, more in-line with what is now the summary [1]  but they were re-written professionally ... and came back, well, much longer.  We then worked compressing it to the minimum and had each small change explicitly reviewed. A number of changes were also proposed by kind folks on this list and were subjected to the same review.
