Is it my imagination or is this the first time that you've proposed
changes to doc/ in this discussion?  I think a mention of this over on
the -doc list would be real nice.

Two things to keep in mind:

1.  doc/ isn't branched.  Any changes to the doc/ infrastructure will be
noticed by (for example) RELENG_4 machines trying to build the doc/
tree.

2.  RELNOTESng lives in src/, but it depends on some infrastructure in
doc/.  Ergo, any changes to the doc/ infrastructure will be noticed by
machines (regardless of what version they currently run) trying to build
RELNOTESng.

(Not so long ago, someone gave me a huge headache by making large-scale
changes to the doc/ tree without remembering these two points.)

Cheers,

Bruce.
