   o Minor features (testing):
-    - Add general tracing instrumentation to Tor. For now, this subsystem is
-      not being used by any part of the code, it is for future use or external
-      testing that is not part of the upstream code base. Any tracing
-      framework needs to be enabled at compile time. Closes #13802.
+    - Add a general event-tracing instrumentation support to Tor.  This
+      subsystem will enable developers and researchers to add fine-grained
+      instrumentation to their Tor instances, for use when examining Tor
+      network performance issues.  There are no trace events yet, and
+      event-tracing is off by default unless enabled at compile time.
+      Implements ticket 13802.

 ## Basics ###
 
-Tracing is seperated in two concepts, trace events and a tracer. The tracing
-subsystem can be found in `src/trace`. The `events.h` header file is the
-main file that maps the different tracers to trace events.
