Documentation requests of this nature should always be made to the upstream project. I wont make a change like this in Red Hat packaging because: 1) It creates duplication of documentation, which must then be kept in sync every time the documentation is updated, which is largely prone to human error. 2) It is the type of change that should be done upstream, rather than by Red Hat or other distributions, so that it is in one place. Upstream is unlikely to accept such a request for change due to my point #1 above. 3) Because upstream is unlikely to accept such a change, if I were to add the change locally in Red Hat packaging, it would increase the amount of package maintenance overhead as Red Hat would have to then maintain the modified documentation indefinitely, and track all changes made to the documentation upstream and merge the changes in multiple locations in our forked documentation. 4) There is no real major benefit to this change. The documentation does refer to other documentation which contains the proper up to date information. Closing request for enhancement as 'WONTFIX', however feel free to request these changes upstream at: http://bugs.freedesktop.org if you would like to get an upstream opinion as well. Thanks in advance. |
