I think it was split off from the original series because it's a documentation fix that could hopefully have graduated faster, and could perhaps have made it into v2.38.0. Or perhaps it could make it in v2.38.2 if such a bug fix release is made. > E.g., does one depend on the other? Are they independent and can be > merged at will? Should the integrator expect merge conflicts? The other patch series has some code changes that are independent, but the documentation changes it makes should probably go on top of this. Thanks, Christian.
