When I send the previous version, I always add the full documentation in 0/N patches. The feedbacks, suggestions, and modifications are all included in 0/N patch. it makes it as a very long text, so I decide to remove the full documentation from 0/N since we already send these docs in early version, it get the 0/N patch much smaller. I will still keep the full documentation in 0/N, and renumber 8/8 to 1/8.
