The policy during the freeze is "bugfix only unless otherwise noted",
which is, admittedly, not saying much ;-)

Strictly speaking, this is a new feature but I think the documentation
value to clarify -u stands for "update" is great enough to make it an
exception.  I've rewritten (from empty!  Szeder, next time please write
sensible commit log message to defend your changes, instead of having _me_
to defend your changes to others here, like this) the commit log message
to clarify this point.
