(Just saying, not that this means we can't do it.) Currently CF1.0 also says for the Source Field in the Header paragraph: "If the upstream source has been modified to remove non-free parts, that should be explained in this field." so just using this seems easier. I guess it boils down to how much detail we need (your "Rationale"); while I understand your point, so far I was quite happy with writing one free-form line in a (Header) Comment field and be done with it.
