I suggested that Jana work in a branch (which I recommended that she name
in a way that made it clear that it was her personal playground) for two
reasons:
- She pushed incorrect instructions to master for internal Red Hat builds
- She did not follow the review process

Had these two problems not come up, it would have been correct for her to
push directly to master, so the branch would not have existed. Aruna
followed the process, which is why I told her to push her changes to master.

It is unfortunate that such a generic name was chosen for the branch as it
seems to have lead to some confusion.

Do you have a good reason for working this way? Rebasing a branch can take
a lot of effort and time. Development should be on master, but it's
important that the quality of the documentation is maintained in the
process.

On that subject, 3.8.2 is due for release on the 13th of May, which is only
3.5 weeks away, and there has not been much activity in fixing those
incorrect instructions that I mentioned earlier. There are even some
"accepted - commit now" patches on Bugzilla, waiting to be committed, do
you know when these will be looked at?
