If there is no time required to analyze this problem but it is still
considered important enough to get documented I wonder why it isn't
added now? The current authors (including you!) did a lot of useful and
good changes the last days but another minor change is impossible?

Of course I know that it was anounced that the Relase Notes stabilized
and it is save to translate it without expecting major updates and
rewrites but this is no reason to delay information you consider
important!

It's again this stupid "no fully translation ==> no publication" which
avoids to inform the user about facts, right?

It would be the first DDP document which incapacitates the user by
deciding whether the reader is forced to read the up to date English
document or a (maybe only slightly) outdated translation.
