I thought this documentation was incomplete anyway - that you hadn't
completed reviewing the properties of every function in glibc - or is the
latest version in fact complete?
I'd think backporting to 2.19 branch any documentation that doesn't make
the cut-off for the release should be fine. (Though we haven't yet
managed to do particularly well with handling release branches after
release. They should have most or all of the bug-fix patches distributors
find themselves backporting, but they tend to have a fairly random set of
bug fixes. And I'd tend to think occasional point releases from branches
would be a good idea, but we haven't had any since 2.14.1.)
