The minute takers didn't catch that in full. Looking at the recording,
you mentioned the topic of which syntax operators of printf are
supported; the specification explicitly excludes the length modifiers
(hh, h, l, ll etc) as well as pointers (p) and number of written bytes
(n). The other comments noted from you related to the include/import
mechanisms. Did I miss something?

Thanks, that is very much appreciated! Having comments on a document is
not in conflict with the shepherd role -- on the contrary, I can't
remember having seen a shepherding where the shepherd has not found some
issue with the document as part of their review.

I will follow up on that off-list.
