True.

This has nothing to do with the question here. I just say that I don't
install an extension without a manual. There is already an indication
whether a manual is available, nothing to do here. Furthermore, we
(DocTeam) are currently working on using and reporting using a messaging
queue.

Yes, I've seen that the patch has been merged now, so I'm really looking
forward to the next deployment :)
