If I need to do this, I planned on doing it in the next week or two.  I
don't think we should wait much longer, because these instructions need to
be subject to the release-cycle testing together with Emacs itself.

If you have considerable doubt what to write, it is fine to wait a bit
longer than a week or two.  But please also consider writing soon what we
know now and later augmenting it given the experience and the feedback.  I
would definitely like to see this out in the open as soon as we practically
can.

TIA
