This seems okay to me, though I'd generally rather this stay in a
branch rather than hitting torvalds/master while there aren't any
substantive changes to the actual spec. (Basically, let's not rush
naming this "2-rc" for 5.18 if there aren't any other changes: a 2-rc
which is practically the same as 1 is probably going to be more
confusing than helpful if it sticks around for a whole kernel release.

(Also, when would we want to update the various mentions of "KTAP
version 1" in the document to "KTAP version 2" or "KTAP version 2-rc"?
Now, when 2 is released, at the first breaking change to that example,
etc?)

Cheers,
-- David

Nit: Sphinx complains that we now need more '=' signs:

Sounds good.  In my reply (a few minutes ago) to your other email, I offer
to host a branch.  The branch approach sounds good to me.

There are only a few references to version 1.  I can create a patch to change
them to version 2 (other than the version of the document itself).

If we are working on a branch, it should not make a big difference when the
internal uses of "version 1" are changed to "version 2".  If I do it right
away then it won't get overlooked.
