+The docker/docker repository only contains _reference documentation_, all

+`impact/documentation` label: this is the signal for documentation maintainers
|
|
|
+that a change will likely need to happen on the unified documentation
|
|

|
|

+documentation maintainers to decide whether it’s ok to skip. In all cases,
