I think we should have a discussion about whether it'd be smart
to convert the back branches' documentation to XML as well.
My short answer to that is, I don't have time for that. I don't know if
anyone else wants to investigate it. But it took us years to get to
this point, and backpatching and back-testing all of that is just a lot
of work that was not planned.
I thought that might be your answer :-(. I can't argue with it ---
if it's not a simple thing to back-patch, then it's unclear whether
the net annoyance over the next five years would be enough to justify
doing the work.
I can prepare such patches (scripts to generate them). In fact we
(Postgres Pro) perform such conversion (SGML->XML) on-fly when building
docs starting from 9.6. So it's not problem to convert *.sgml and
replace Makefile and *.xsl.
But I would prefer to perform the conversion when we finish the move on
11devel (renaming sgml to xml, maybe optimizing xsl's...).
