This patch is originally by Justin. The latest version is by Tomas. I
think the next step is for Justin to say whether he's OK with the
latest version that Tomas posted. If he is, then I suggest that he
also mark it Ready for Committer, and that Tomas commit it. If he's
not, he should say what he wants changed and either post a new version
himself or wait for Tomas to do that.

I think the fact that is classified as a "Bug Fix" in the CommitFest
application is not particularly good. I would prefer to see it
classified under "Documentation". I'm prepared to concede that
documentation can have bugs as a general matter, but nobody's data is
getting eaten because the documentation wasn't updated. In fact, this
is the fourth patch from the "bug fix" section I've studied this
afternoon, and, well, none of them have been back-patchable code
defects.
