i really tried to remain out of this. in theory, like Linus said, we
should not even know that he's using bk. it should be completely hidden.
the only method described inside the kernel tarbal should be the
old diff+patch one. main maintainers ( i mean the group of at most 10 that
are handling huge number of patches and that are highly interacting with
Linus ) will very likely get benefits from using bk instead of diff+patch,
but for these one no doc is necessary. either they know or Larry can
provide them with all the docs they need. for all the remaining crew, bk
adoption is simply a trend followup.
