The opinion looks ok. However, I'm still disappointed by the project
team's approach on this -- the key concerns we had about this project
(the ability for 3rd parties to contribute documentation, and the
"out-of-sync" issue with documentation shown inappropriate for the
release the command is being run on) being set aside rather than
properly addressed. However I'll continue to hold my nose so that the
project can move "forward" (for some value of "forward").
