I answered one person who had a hard time reading the docs at SO, but he didn't respond and the last time he was online was 2018, so I didn't made the effort to edit my answer with the current version.

What are the next steps? If there are no more responses, does it imply that everyone agrees with this patch? Can we publish it online?
