It is, after all, still > under maintenance, There are three options for doc patches: 1. patch only git head, meaning the next major release 2. do #1, plus the most recent major released version, e.g. 9.2.X 3. #1, #2, and all major supported released versions In general, #1 is normally for wording clarifications, #2 is for usage clarifications, and #3 is to correct mistakes. Not sure I follow that 100%, but that is what I normally do. Is that process good?
