+1 (even if we maybe will keep up the discussion by ourselves ;) )

I'm + 1 also on this. I think that the errors that a merged PR could
introduce are still better to have a long cue of unmerged PR. Knowing
that it is always better to have reviewed docs, but maybe (just maybe)
errors are easier to find during the final reading of the docs..

just ping if you need help

Thanks
