Probably no harm in it.  I'd cc'd you and akpm for exactly that reason;
I wasn't sure I'd updated to the authoratative source.  I'll fold that
into a v2 once there has been a chance for other feedback to come in.

On a similar note, I was thinking about the recent thread on linux-next
where we were indicating that people shouldn't rebase linux-next content
on a whim, and that new devel (vs. bugfix) content shouldn't appear in
the linux-next content during the merge window.  There is no question
that the linux-next process is integral to the main flow of patches to
mainline, so I think Documentation/development-process/2.Process (the
same file) should also capture those points in the linux-next section.
Do you have some pre-canned text we can insert there, or should I draft
something up for you to review?

Thanks,
Paul.
