Yes, I agree with that. Historically, documentation only changes
(such as new developers-reference) have been accepted into Potato.

*Shudder*
I think we should instead just have a web page akin to
<URL:http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/running-kernel-2.2> but for
running 2.4 in Potato. This is not the same as including 2.4 kernels
in Potato but rather some modicum of support for users who wish to run
2.4.
I know that 2.4 used to break boot-floppies (due to a gratuitious
change in /proc); newer ones apparently do not. God knows what else
it breaks....
