Hi Gauvain,
I haven't written up a policy yet as we are still working through "what's
in a release" with the technical committee now that Documentation is a
Program. But as a general rule, I want the current release (grizzly) to be
as accurate as possible and I approve backported docs with relish.

We know we have plenty of Essex installs out there, and since we serve the
users, let's make sure we keep the latest release branch as accurate as
humanly possible. Thanks for asking!

This morning I gave Shaun McCance a bug for cleanup of the Grizzly Install
Guide, but if you're feeling eager it's a good place for you to start:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1199133

I'd also look for bugs that have grizzly: in the Description. These were
brought in via DocImpact flags. For example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1087051
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1090654

Thanks again for asking -
Anne
