Greg,

Under 'Documentation', there is the text:

When new features are added to the kernel, it is recommended
that new documentation files are also added which explain how
to use the feature.

Could you also add something like:

When a new feature changes the interface that the kernel
exposes to userland, it is recommended that you send
information or a man-pages patch explaining the change
to the manual pages maintainer at mtk-manpages@gmx.net.

Thanks,

Michael
