Hi :) Please could we try to keep discussions on the right lists? When something is relevant to the documentation team we could just forwards the thread to the documentation team for them to discuss.
Of course the docs team are interested in getting the guides out to as many distribution networks as reasonably possible. Also they are likely to be in a better position to decide how to make it possible. Of course the marketing team can try to make all the decisions for them but this list might not be aware of details. Details that the documentation team might have factored in if they had been allowed to discuss it themselves. Delegating is a good way to manage a project.
