Before sending my opinion on this to both the mailing lists, I wanted to be
sure that I was not seeing the entire thing wrongly, and after discussing
it with Pasi in the -doc channel I think that the best approach would be to
insert a link in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics.
If we were to marge one into the other, we might fall under a double
maintaining effort situation, i.e., if one changes, somebody has to make
sure that the content of the other would be up-to-date.

Cheers,
David
