In my mind, the most logical point at which the documentation should start talking about the new "common coups" is when "common groups" actually comes into existence since the new documentation is directly related to birth of that new section of the file. The documentation update is, at best, only very peripherally related to removal of the old 'common' tag, so it doesn't really seem logical to tie the documentation update to 'common' removal in 4/5. But that's just my opinion... >> Also, it's now spelled "### common groups" rather than "[common]". > > actually, this [common] is not the one I added in a previous series, > but the one that was already present: > > # command name category [deprecated] [common] Ah, right.
