Those should be in RC1?

commit 7312fe13a454e81b167c83d85d1e6dab33777906

     documentation: more README.md tweaks

     apparently code examples need two or four spaces

commit d87729ad3093db431290eb5aa7ed9271f26408e4
Author: Andrew Cagney <cagney at gnu.org>
Date:   Tue Dec 19 10:27:55 2023 -0500

     documentation: update README.md and INSTALL

     - change INSTALL to just point at README.md
     - fix (hopefully) some of the code indents
     - adjust paragraph breaks
     - drop reference to KLIPS
     - add more to security section

     TKS to Bill Atwood for some notes.


These were made on Dec 19, where as 5.0rc1 was cut on Dec 12.

Also has been fixed since.

So these fixes will all be in rc2.
