  Sorry, I missed a lot of mails. You can really Cc me at least

  The special thing is that the fate documentation *was* a plain text
file in the first place. I ported/rewrote it as a texi version so we
can generate HTML and put that online for browsers. Still a text file
version can be convenient if you don't want to fire up a browser or
you have ssh'ed into a remote box.

  I _do honestly *not* understand_ what this patch is about. This
leaves me puzzled so I am not sure what to do now. Maybe I should
read some more random mails and hope to get some usable context.
