As I said in the other thread, I am happy for it to be moved to a better
location. core-api/ as well as kernel-hacking/ seem to be good
locations.

I could imagine expanding the documentation, but would not like to
commit to it right now. (Even though I feel very encouraged by your talk
in Paris, Jon. Thanks for that!)

Cheers,
