Seems almost reasonable from my humble perspective...  though, hot 
would be all together in the .text.* area...  so, listing it first 
isn't strictly necessary....  and, likewise, unlikely would tend to 
group together as well, so strictly speaking, listing it last should 
not be necessary...

The change might be wrong from a {non-,}RELOCATING perspective, a 
script wizz should be able to offer advice...

Again, seems reasonable...
