I don't think anyone here suggested not to update the whatsnew document. > I find it very useful to have these pinpoint *exactly* > what made it into the tarball or zipfile or whatever other form I happen to > find > the release -- you don't always have the full hg logs lying around, nor do you > always know from which exact revision or tag a tree was built. In any case, I like to think it's not a lax attitude, but a consistent one: we basically don't want ANY non-critical changes in the RCs, so insufficient docs should be treated like any other bugfix that's not a release blocker: unfortunate, but not world-ending. That exceptions can be and are made (e.g. for the whatsnew document) is because for the docs the potential breakage is lower. > Of course it's fine to improve the docs in an ongoing fashion, and if it's > just > a wording change to NEWS or whatsnew I don't mind missing it.
