Hm, I think I fumbled the cc for the cover letter: http://www.spinics.net/lists/intel-gfx/msg81351.html In short it hasn't died, and 4.5 will have a few thousand more lines of doc already employing asciidoc (and ofc also the other stuff that already landed in 4.4). I just figured there's no way this could get it, and I'd much rather improve the docs themselves than trying to convince core kernel folks that this might be useful. > Anyway, I wanted to say that, my silence notwithstanding, I haven't just > dropped these.

I haven't tackled the table conversion story yet, but one reason for me to switch to asciidoc (besides that Dave thought it was a good idea) was the better table support. I haven't tried, but it /should/ be powerful enough. Another bonus is in-line figures as asciiart that get rendered to png. But haven't done the integration work on that yet either. Anyway things seem to work and I'm happy.
