But this would mean that the version of the todo list in Linus' tree
is usually a release (3 months) out of date.  It would be a good idea
for a list maintained this way to include instructions on how to find
the current version, lest some unsuspecting person waste time working
on items that are already fixed and waiting for the next merge.
