Hmm, `wild changes' is a mild exaggeration, isn't it?  It makes
50 Cyrillic characters appear in the PDFs which were simply missing
previously.  It's a one-line change in `macros.itexi' and a new file.
And of course I've run `make doc' on a freshly cloned git repository
and checked the output whether everything is fine.

Anyway, I now understand that we essentially have a code freeze in
`staging' until 2.16 is out.  Somehow I got a wrong impression about
that, sorry.
