That's not for me to decide. However, I would suggest you wait a bit before adding it to that list (or any other piece of Documentation). Just to be sure it works for most people. Once that update has hit linux-next, you can point patch authors to it every time the bot finds something the script would have caught too. That should enlarge the pool of users. And, as complaints tend to be voiced loud and clear, that in turn should help shake out any bugs or ill considered features.
