Not at all. You're well aware, for example, that the bulk of my
changes for the upcoming security release are documentation; the
code changes were easy enough.

I've thought about it a great deal over the years. This policy
has proved its worth over and over in other contexts and recently
in OpenSSL as well. The code changes for 1.0.2g would not have
been as complete, had I not reviewed and updated the documentation.
