Yes, I also removed some top-level labels while I was at it, though I
would better have done that in a separate patch. (My Git index was messy
with these large diff. So later, the topic was expanded to a cleanup.
But yes, I should split it)

But I checked that none of these removed labels are referenced
elsewhere, if I was doing it correctly. (No invalid citations were
reported by 'make htmldocs'.)

Anyway, I'll not touch these labels in next re-roll.

Oh, I forgot to mention this when writing cover lettter, sorry I did
send these emails a bit too hastily.

I did run checkpatch and got these reminders.

The original Engish versions of these three are missing
SPDX-License-Identifier(s), so as far as I know, our translation is
better not to add this first.?

Please see: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/87y0dv1wp3.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

But I guess we could add the identifier with Alex's and Yanteng's ack,
as they are the original translator if we want to.

Thanks!


p.s. Many of the recipients' addresses are no longer in use. To avoid
unnecessary clutter, I will simplify the list of recipients in the next
version.
