Is this supposed to be humorous?  Maybe folks here find it amusing that
somebody thinks they know more than the *author* about the contents of the
document?  Did you note the words above?  That is, "very recent changes"?

Perhaps you are viewing an older cached version.  Please check for the
current month on every page: "January 2011".

We discussed -- and ultimately decided -- these changes in private email
during the independent review process before making them available to the
general public.  That's how the RFC publication procedure works.

I tried to be helpful to the Linux community in advance of publication, so
you would be prepared.  I'm sorry that the community here is so lacking in
appreciation for my efforts on your behalf.

As always, what you actually do with my code is up to you....
