Thanks, but IME deferring the update of documentation for these
reasons is a mistake.  It frequently causes us to forget to make those
deferred updates, and more importantly, it leaves those who use the
development snapshots with outdated or lacking documentation.

I understand the wish to avoid unnecessary rework, but I don't think
there's a way around that.
