Guys, which part of "it wasn't any individual commit" didn' you 
understand?

Why are you concentrating on one documentation commit that I didn't even 
point to?

But that said - no, I don't think there is any reason to even push 
documentation commits, unless there is a real and pressing reason (ie the 
documentation is really important or will really matter from a future 
merge standpoint). I generally won't complain about them, but I also don't 
see the point.

I'd _much_ rather see you guys queue it up for future merges.
