Unfortunately it is way too late in the cycle to add documentation -
our string freeze passed on 1 October and final freeze for karmic is
only two days away. This is definitely something that we should look
into for the next release cycle - if you'd like to file a bug so that
we can track the issue, that would be great.

Incidentally, I see that your email was dated 9 October but was only
delivered to my email today - did others get it earlier? If it's not
just my email address, I'll look into this as Canonical email
addresses should be whitelisted for posting to this list.
