This is just a shorthand for the unified diff format [1]. Though
without those prefixes it should be interpreted as :

"the first line (in the group) is what came from the old build, and the
second line is what exists in thew new build"

In this case, the installable unit is a feature group, so those changes
are not as important as it's not meant for projects to consume.

The "CHANGED" section is meant to show consumers what bundles may have
had changes to them, from the previous milestone resulting in a change
to their version qualifier. This can help determine if they should
expect to make any additional changes to their target platform when
they move to the newer repository.

If someone is aware of a more standard approach to do this I'd be happy
to switch over. I'm aware of https://github.com/irbull/p2diff but
haven't really tried it.
