Yes, imho.  And the reasons may seem odd to sum, but here is my spin on this:

It should not of been Eitan who did the MFC.

Second, this simple document MFC is excellent training ground for a new
commiter to learn how to do a MFC.  Everyone should know how to do an MFC
and it seems we have many (me included when I returned as my experiece was
all with cvs, not svn) who do not know how to do this operation.

If they mess up this simple text file it has a very low risk, and then
they can learn how to do a revert and recommit!

Maybe we should even add to the end of the commiters "these are the
things you should do as a new committer" the merging of your info
into to all supported/active releases.  Which is a good opportunity
for teaching how to do svn sparse checkouts as you really do not
want to pull all of stable/10 out just to commit to 1 file.

This file is an excellent opportunity for training, lets USE IT!

Thanks,
