Thanks. In the latter, they are swapped.

Perhaps the whole section can be dropped? Back when the section was written, the top section did not describe the review iteration and lines 212-214 you quoted above did not exist, but the top section of the current document already cover everything in the "ideal patch flow" section, I think.
