When the new website was first being built, there was a huge outcry when I suggested not bothering with it. I'd rather keep it around, at least for a bit longer, because it serves as a canary. Is the doc build system as generic as we need? no. (note that there's a few pictures in other manuals; it's not just web-big-html that needs them) Is the doc build system as well-organized as we need? of course not. I think we can do a huge amount of work just by cleaning up the "make website" process. Admittedly that doesn't include web-big-html, but the increased understanding and simplifications should have follow-on effects to "make doc".
