I can understand why significant changes should not go into a release the 
day before it is going out, but come on, even not knowing Haskell I can 
still read that the patch does nothing more than use putDoc instead of 
putDocLn (which is putDoc plus an extra line). Such trivial bug fixes 
shouldn't be put on a shelf waiting another few months before users can 
benefit from them (do not forget that few people build darcs from source 
and even fewer build the current tree, most of them just use a binary 
made after a release or whatever comes packaged by their distribution).
