Sounds alarming. Linus didn't take documentation updates from designated
maintainer? For many months? I can't believe in argument that updates were
able to break _anything_, it's only documentation, right? I could understand
this if these updates were sent by little known person, but Eric?!

Clearly a scalability problem here :-)

I won't post to this thread more.
Why? It's a flamewar, more _words_ will do nothing. _Action_ is needed.
