Documentation fixes are user-visible strings, so they are covered by:

… small documentation fixes will be welcome but it won't be a great
time to merge large pieces of new / totally revamped doc. Now, since
there was apparently a misunderstanding on the definition of
"user-visible strings" and it took me 3 weeks to clarify it, I'll be
a bit more flexible than I intended to be when I wrote the message
you're replying to.

OK; maybe add this to #14683 so I find this info when I need it?

Thankfully most of the changes should make it into the RC
so you'll have quite some time to prepare them in advance.
I'm not concerned :)

Cheers,
