Imagine that, an out-of-date doc in the kernel :)

Seriously, though, I'd argue that (1) it's already highly available, and
(2) it's useful now.  And (3) who knows when that update will happen?
Unless we have reason to believe that a new version is waiting on the
wings, I don't really see why we would want to delay this work.

Thanks,
