+Changes in v5:
+- `sed -i s|file descriptor based|file-descriptor-based|`.
+  [Alejandro Colomar]
+- fsconfig(2): use bullets instead of ordered list for workflow
+  description. [Alejandro Colomar]
+- mount_setattr(2): fix minor wording nit in new attribute-parameter
+  subsection.
+- fsopen(2): remove brackets around "message" for message retrieval
+  interface description. [Alejandro Colomar]
+- {move_mount,fspick}(2): fix remaining incorrect no-automount text.
+  [Askar Safin]
+- {fsmount,open_tree}(2): `sed -i s|MOUNT_DETACH|MNT_DETACH|g`.
+  [Askar Safin]
+- mount_setattr(2): fix copy-paste snafu in attribute-parameter
+  subsection. [Askar Safin]
+- *: clean `make -R build-catman-troff`. [Alejandro Colomar]
+- *: switch to \[em]\c where appropriate.
+- open_tree(2): clean up MNT_DETACH-on-close description and make it
+  slightly more prominent. [Alejandro Colomar]
+- open_tree(2): mention the distinction from open(O_PATH) with regards
+  to automounts. Askar suggested it be put in the section about
+  ~OPEN_TREE_CLONE, but the change in behaviour also applies to
+  OPEN_TREE_CLONE and it looked awkward to include it in the
+  dentry_open() case because O_PATH only gets mentioned in the following
+  paragraph (where I've put the text now). [Askar Safin]
+- {move_mount,open_tree{,_attr}}(2): fix column-width-related "make -R
+  check" failures.
+- *: fix remaining "make -R lint" failures.
+- open_tree_attr(2): add example using MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP.
+- v4: <https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250919-new-mount-api-v4-0-1261201ab562@cyphar.com>
+
+Changes in v4:
+- `sed -i s|\\% |\\%|g`.
+- Remove unneeded quotes in SYNOPSIS. [Alejandro Colomar]
+- open_tree(2): fix leftover confusing usages of "attach" when referring
+  to file descriptors being associated with mount objects.
+- open_tree(2): rename "Anonymous mount namespaces" NOTES subsection to
+  the far more informative "Mount propagation" and clean up the wording
+  a little.
+- open_tree_attr(2): add a code comment about
+  <https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250808-open_tree_attr-bugfix-idmap-v1-0-0ec7bc05646c@cyphar.com/>
+- {fsconfig,open_tree_attr}(2): use _Nullable.
+- {fsmount,open_tree}(2): mention the the unmount-on-close behaviour is
+  actually lazy (a-la MNT_DETACH).
+- {fsconfig,mount_setattr}(2): improve "mount attributes and filesystem
+  parameters" wording to make it clearer that superblock and mount flags
+  are sibling properties, not the same thing.
+- open_tree(2): mention that any mount propagation events while the
+  mount object is detached are completely lost -- i.e., they don't get
+  replayed once you attach the mount somewhere.
+- fsconfig(2): fix minor grammatical / missing joining word issues.
+- fsconfig(2): fix final leftover `.IR A " and " B` cases.
+- fsconfig(2): explain that failed fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_*) operations
+  render the filesystem context invalid.
+- fsconfig(2): rework the description of superblock reuse, as the
+  previous text was very wrong. (Though there has been discussion about
+  changing this behaviour...)
+- fsconfig(2): remove misleading wording in FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL
+  about how we are requesting a new filesystem instance -- in theory
+  filesystems could take this request into account but in practice none
+  do (and it seems unlikely any ever will).
+- fsconfig(2): mention that key, value, and aux must be 0 or NULL for
+  FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONF.
+- fsmount(2): fix usage of "filesystem instance" in relation to
+  fsmount() and open_tree() comparison. [Askar Safin]
+- move_mount(2): "as attached" -> "as a detached" [Askar Safin]
+- fspick(2): add note about filesystem parameter list being copied
+  rather than reset with FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE. [Askar Safin]
