Apparently adverb hyphenation discussion plagues the web.  One
reasonably-serious page I found in a very quick search is
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/adverbs-and-hyphens/
which cites the Chicago Manual of Style, among others.

There are lots of places in our docs that use hyphens after the "-ly"
suffix, so I think patch 3 is either too short because it should change
more of them, or too long because we should leave this alone.
