So, it seems that the current proposal is to skip the temporary
workaround (name-based filtering), and instead directly do
content-based filtering. Fine by me!

What's missing is:

* the list of scenarios that shall be tagged @doc: at least the one
anonym mentioned earlier in this thread; plus "check all PO files"
I guess; the WhisperBack tests once they have been written; more?

* some process to make sure we tag scenarios @doc whenever relevant;
I think we'll forget from time to time, and it's fine, because
we'll be adding such scenarios very rarely; so perhaps a yearly
check by the RM (e.g. 1st release of the year) is good enough?

* and finally, some Redmine tickets describing this decision and the
timeline of its implementation.

bertagaz: once we have all that, please reassign #10492 to me for
review.

Cheers,
