That, of course, was the theory behind the addition of the skeleton
documentation that's there now :)

I have also thought about trying to fill it in once a bit of spare time
opens up.  Funny how that tends not to happen, but I still would like to
do that at some point.

Michal's question, though, is something that needs a good answer: who is
the audience for Documentation/mm/ ?  Some of the stuff in the patch
under discussion, if it were to reach an acceptable point, is probably
better placed in the admin guide.  OTOH, a manual firmly aimed at people
trying to understand the MM code itself makes sense to me.

Thanks,
