It's just as much a work-in-progress, but at least now it's gotten enough technical review to shake out most of the really bad lies, so hopefully it doesn't do any actual damage. And if we encourage people to read it, they'll be more likely to whine about it, which will help get it fixed faster.

 as defined in the configuration file (see gitlink:git-config[1]).
