Thanks. It is great to hear that you are finding Babel useful. I
shouldn't take too much credit for Babel as the Org-mode community has
contributed the bulk of the language-specific back ends which really
make Babel work. Also, thanks to Bastien for handling much of the core
Babel maintenance as of late.

This makes sense, however, with worg in a git repo, revisions are easy,
so a little trial and error shouldn't cause any lasting damage.

Waiting is probably the best approach. Unfortunately the FSF
assignments generally take on the order of weeks, so there should be no
need to rush on the documentation before the code is incorporated.

Thanks again, it is very gratifying to see Babel continue to grow even
as I have less time personally to work on it.
