It's just vague enough! :) It's not a change in the general FSF manual policy at all. It's a fix for the fact that the GDB manuals (for some presumably accidental reason) labelled various technical sections as being invariant. > Are there any Invariant Sections or Cover Texts? If so, what are they? I assume so, but not any differently than the Emacs or GCC manuals. This has nothing to do with the general problem of invariant sections, but is purely about the special mistakes made wrt the GDB manuals. This makes GDB now in the same category as Emacs and GCC: not unproblematic, but also not horrible. This change should certainly be made for woody. Whatever conclusion we come to about documentation in general, in my opinion, should not directly affect the woody release: that is, I don't think there's any particular rush. But there was a rush for the GDB manuals, to deal with the special problems there. Is that clear enough? Thomas
