Oh well. As you say, it is what it is.

Since there's been no comment about that documentation change I 
installed it in Autoconf master on Savannah. I also installed the result 
of a 'make fetch'.

As far as I know, the next Autoconf release is good to go. Unfortunately 
I can't test Autoconf as well as Zack tested it. However, it appears 
that releasing what we've got would be better than not releasing it so 
I'm hoping that we can release Autoconf 2.72 soon, even if it's not as 
well tested as Autoconf 2.71 was.

Comments welcome.
