The last time LWN looked at formatted kernel documentation
in January, it seemed like the merging of AsciiDoc support for the
kernel’s structured source-code documentation (“kernel-doc”) comments, was
imminent. As Jonathan Corbet, in the capacity of the kernel documentation
maintainer, wrote: "A good-enough solution that exists now
should not be held up overly long in the hopes that vague ideas for
something else might turn into real, working code." Sometimes,
however, the threat that something not quite perfect might be merged
is enough to motivate people to turn those vague ideas into something
real.
