As I explained to you yesterday by IRC (without any feedback from you 
after your question, did you receive it?). The documentation team 
approved it. Martin and skaet, as a release team members, ,declined the 
exception for the reasons given in the bug mail. For what it worths 
(even if I have no decision power here), I agree with those.
