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.

Marcel
