There are three options for doc patches:

1.  patch only git head, meaning the next major release
2.  do #1, plus the most recent major released version, e.g. 9.2.X
3.  #1, #2, and all major supported released versions

In general, #1 is normally for wording clarifications, #2 is for usage
clarifications, and #3 is to correct mistakes.  Not sure I follow that
100%, but that is what I normally do.

Is that process good?  Did I not follow it?
