Yeah, tell me about it.

My train of thought with CCing maintainers in such cases usually is: I'd
CC the mailing list as I don't want to bother the maintainer - she/he gets
too much email anyway and this is an FYI thing anyway so she/he'll find
it in the archives eventually.

The problem I see here is that not all of the RAS stuff will be
"admin-guide" stuff but some design decisions we've made. I mean, if it
is a really curious admin, it'll fit her/his alley but it won't be
purely administrative tasks' descriptions.

In the end of the day, I don't really care where it is as long as it is
in one place and we can point people to it and say, here, that's why we
did it the way we did it and what you can do about it.

So I'm fine with admin-guide too - just pointing out a potential issue
I see.

Thx.
