No behind-the-curtains discussions happening, or, let's say, if there are, I've not been invited either. I'd like to get back to the cross-reference stuff. Last I tried, it failed while building the media docs; have you been able to look at that? Longer term, as you may know from the kernel summit discussions, I'd really like to get rid of a lot of the XML gunk and put in something more straightforward, be it based on Markdown or something else. Doing that, however, requires that I find the time to implement something that's convincingly better. It may happen soon, but I sure can't guarantee it. Meanwhile, I think it would be a horrible mistake to delay useful work because I have a gleam in my eye to do something different one of these years, so I'll not do that. I fully expect to merge all of the stuff you've done, I just need to have a good look at it and test it out a bit. As I said before, I can't promise that for the 4.3 merge window, but I'll try.
