Apart from the effort of the change, there is also the increased effort of backpatching documentation changes, and those efforts have to be outbalanced by the benefits.
Are you sure we need to backpatch all these changes ?
I'm not talking about the job I'll have but the job the committer will have.
There are almost 300 different section numbers and more than 700 places will be changed,
so will be 700 multiplied by how many versions of it. Are you sure ?
I changed 8 or 10 just for testing and sending two as an example, just to see if it's worthwhile.
Environment Variables need to change source and target, 30 places.
String constants just source part, easy to change but harder to verify all related parts.
