Almost certainly, since we have yet to receive agreements from all
contributors. However, that's irrelevant: we're creating the basis upon
which code is eligible for releases 3.10-final and later.

The board will decide this issue; currently I believe we are in
unanimous agreement that it should operate as I described.

I think that's right.

Well, I think it's more an aspect of the topic, from past
experience. Some people just get tired of it, or don't like more than a
certain level of detail. Since I'm trying to go into exhaustive detail,
it seems like the probability of annoying those people is high. :)
thanks again,
