While, is there really no one between the boardroom and the avant garde
hobbyists?  I didn't realize there was such a void between those levels...

Yes, well, of course.  We all know that already.

That is simply documentation, not really a feature.  And it is actually
fairly normal to add and refine documentation during a RC release.

I agree in general with the "no more features" requests, but docs are
really a whole different thing.  Most shops are working on the docs
right up to the last minute for every release.
