John was just pointing out (like myself before) that a lot of people are under the impression that documentation updates and new drivers should not be queued up and merged as soon as possible.
I am really fine either way. Queuing them up is not a problem and you made your point that you don't wanna see them after -rc1. That is fair enough, but it really needs to be spelled our here since the overall consensus is different. I will not send any of these do Dave anymore after the merge window.
