Hello Shawn,

  having hard time trying to apply the patch (git am / git apply [*]
report's it's corrupted probably because my email client changing
the spaces :().

  In any case adding the added text section manually, re-diffing & rebuild works.

The string 'https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/70464' could be probably
noted in "link notation" so when viewing the HTML guide, there would
be clickable link, but that's just a nitpick. Otherwise the change is OK.

ACK for the text add-on.

Thank you && Regards, Jan.
