  So far I was guessing that man-pages are supposed only to have changes
in latest released glibc version when they aren't in flux yet. Is the
policy different? Or is it just a "common sense" policy that changes
that are obviously fixed already are included?

Done.  Sorry -- I was on the move quite a bit, and then stuck behind a
rather restrictive firewall.

I don't think so.  Why do you?  (But, it's true that my announcement
went out a few days after I posted the tarball.)

It's "common sense" -- if I see something that is clearly destined for
a release soon, and I can easily document it, I will.

Cheers,
