Re: Please forget LM MG NR IR SL AU

[Graham Percival]

What part of "in a few months" was unclear?  In a few months, once
2.12 is out and the only (stable) docs refer to LM and NR, it will
be second nature.

If anybody doesn't understand what these two letter acronyms refer
to, they clearly haven't ready LM 1.2, and therefore I have
absolutely *no* sympathy for them.  We've spent over a thousand
hours working on the docs in the last year alone, and probably
approaching four thousand hours in total.  If people don't read
those docs, they have only themselves to blame.
