I have to say I am really disappointed in the fact we need to link to RFCs.


Most of them even seem to been implemented a long time ago, so I
wonder why the authors haven't attempted to create even a skeleton
documentations for these features?

I thought we agreed long time ago that in the event the RFCs had not
been documented by the time of a release the Release Managers
responsibility would be to loudly mention this to our documentation
team to attempt pushing better documentations out to the public before
an release.
In fact, I don't even see any mention of the release on the doc list
at all, or any attempt to coordinate things, or even request to review
the announcement, updates to phpweb or anything.

I strongly encourage you guys to communicate with the rest of the
project and send in patches of your changes with few days notice so we
can catch embarrassing issues which have happened so frequently in the
past, and at least give the documentation team a fighting chance of
focusing on upcoming things.
