The kmplot manual in HEAD and in BRANCH is the same revision, I wonder if 
Rinse doesn't have a sticky tag set or something.

I'm aware a couple of developers have backported docs (KDevelop specifically) 
but since they do not coordinate with the docs team any more than they do 
with i18n, there's not a whole lot I can do about that.  When I did find out, 
I asked them not to do that in future, without at least asking first. 

If you are seeing backports in docs in the BRANCH, please tell me, so I can do 
something about it. BRANCH is completely string frozen, and docs, in the end, 
are nothing but a big bunch of strings.

I know some of you translating, like Erik, backport your own translations of 
docs, that is great.  Nobody at all should be backporting *English* docs at 
this point, without it having come across this list (kde-i18n) for approval, 
and frankly, it's a bit late in the cycle for approval to be given lightly.

(CC'ed to kde-doc-english just to make the frozenness of the branch clear all 
over.)
