But I agree, there isn't an obviously correct > place for it. Sorry, been a bit distracted...when we were working on this I was more focused on the text than the location. My own feeling is that Documentation/process is a better place for this - that's where we tell the world how to work with the kernel community, after all. I'm not going to dig in my heels and fight about it, but that's my sense. Otherwise, it kind of seems like this is ready to go in. I'd like to apply it before the merge window; lemme know where you want it in the end and we can get it done. Thanks, jon
