Generally it's considered poor form to push any inessential patches
during a release window (which I'd define roughly as 48 hours before
the wrap till after the tag is applied). It complicates the picture
for the final round of buildfarm testing, and if we have to do a
re-wrap then we're faced with the question of whether to back out
the patch.

In this case, it being just a README, I agree there's no harm done.
But we've been burnt by "low risk" patches before, so I'd tend to
err on the side of caution during a release window.
