I think that'd be wonderful, but my point was that I think it would best serve the user to leave the backtracking in that document at least *until* there's a suitable replacement, not until we *hope* there will be a suitable replacement :-) Perhaps put the backtracking stuff after the new stuff, if it's not after already....
