Let me clarify what I was trying to say:

IMO, we should have documentation for features that live in the master
branch.  If they are broken, then we should document where and how
they are broken (or, more preferably, fix them).  But if the code is
in the branch, and can be accessed, there's no reason to avoid it
going into the docs.

Right now, master is tied to our next feature release.  So to me, I
wouldn't remove any docs that are there.  If we have a functional
issue (examples include Nexus1000v and OVM support), I'd rather
everyone focus on fixing those issues.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.
