So ... I suspect that the intent, in changes.rst anyway, was to list the
compilers first and group other stuff roughly by category.  But I agree
it's kind of a mess; if it's really by category, they should be
explicit.

If nobody screams, I am inclined to apply this change.  But ...

...these are a separate change and should be in their own patch.
