Yes, I am going to take it.

I was already sort of playing with fire with the 5.10 pull request (and
with me being lousy in general during the 5.10 development period, to be
honest), so I left it for rc2 or rc3. It's just docs and it happened to
conflict with another documentation patch that had gone in through Jon
Corbet's tree.
