I completely agree, especially since we have a volunteer to perform the 
integration :)  I've witnessed the process on #ubuntu of a document being 
recognized as at least partially duplicating another document, then declared 
inferior to that document and finally falling into disrepute as dangerous to 
follow.  Both these documents serve a similar purpose, and I think everyone 
would be well served if they were integrated.  It would also help avoid the 
inevitable confusion over which document is more likely to contain the 
information I'm looking for.
