Is this just because you are busy, or because you expect what you want
to say to change after the discussion?

If it is because you expect what you want to say here to change, I am
surprised. This seems like pretty good, straightforward advice. From
where I stand this seems like it makes the documentation better
without making anything worse, and so this change should probably be
included.

In anycase, your call. I just don't think anyone is going to dispute
what you are saying here :-)

Cheers!
