That would be really awesome ... Sorry for my relative absence...I'm still busy dealing with bureaucracy an ocean away from home. I hope to begin emerging from this mess in the near future. So ... there's the code you have, the work I (+Jani) did, and the work Markus has done. Which would you have me push into 4.7? The sphinx/rst approach does seem, to me, to be the right one, with the existing DocBook structure remaining in place for those who want/need it. I'm inclined toward my stuff as a base to work with, obviously :) But it's hackish at best and needs a lot of cleaning up. It's a proof of concept, but it's hardly finished (one might say it's barely begun...) In the end, I guess, I feel that anything we might try to push for 4.7 is going to look rushed and not ready, and Linus might react accordingly. I'd be more comfortable aiming for 4.8. I *will* have more time to focus on things in that time frame... I suspect you're pretty well fed up with this stuff being pushed back, and rightly so. All I can do is apologize. That said, if you do think there's something out there that is good enough to consider pushing in a week or two, do tell and we can all take a look. Thanks, jon
