-## Making Trivial Changes
-
-For [changes of a trivial nature](https://puppet.com/community/trivial-patch-exemption-policy), it is not always necessary to create a new
-ticket in Jira. In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a
-commit with one of `(docs)`, `(maint)`, or `(packaging)` instead of a ticket
-number.
-
-If a Jira ticket exists for the documentation commit, you can include it
-after the `(docs)` token.

-    (docs)(DOCUMENT-000) Add docs commit example to CONTRIBUTING
-
-    There is no example for contributing a documentation commit
-    to the Puppet repository. This is a problem because the contributor
-    is left to assume how a commit of this nature may appear.
-
-    The first line is a real-life imperative statement with '(docs)' in
-    place of what would have been the PUP project ticket number in a
-    non-documentation related commit. The body describes the nature of
-    the new documentation or comments added.
-```

 For commits that address trivial repository maintenance tasks or packaging
 issues, start the first line of the commit with `(maint)` or `(packaging)`,
 respectively.
