Hi Jon, As promised, I'm sending you the missing patches from the python backward-compatibility series. They're not urgent, IMO it should be OK to have them merged for 6.17. The first patch fix process/changes.rst. Currently, it makes one think that Python is optional. While not having python may work on some environments, there are some python scripts called during Kernel build time that require python. Document them. Also, in order to avoid breaking compilation, make kernel-doc's main script executable with elder Python versions. Backward-compatibility tested with Python 2.7 and 3.4 (although it may work since 3.2). On elder versions, it would emit a warning and do nothing, as the actual code depends on features at 3.6 (f-strings) and 3.7 (ordered dict).
