More importantly, one shouldn't omit release/version numbers of the 
software from their posts. Filing a request to update documentation when 
the information is already present in the current docs suggests you have 
either (a) not read the docs carefully or (b) used docs from a much 
older release. Given the detail present in your email I believe you have 
read carefully, so I must assume that (b) was the case.

This is another good reason why most posts regarding older releases 
(i.e., anything older than 2.2.15) will be summarily dismissed with "you 
need to upgrade."
