My other message from a day or so ago should have made this clear, but
just to be explicit -- I think that content changes (for example,
translating changes in a manual page from English to Japanese) are
fine, and should continue as normal. However, please be particularly
careful to ensure that you don't accidentally commit something that
breaks the build because of bad formatting.
Changes to the build infrastructure should go through me first, and we
might hold off on them until 3.3 is out the door.
