At that point, back-patching documentation fixes would become effectively
impossible except through manual intervention in the patching process.
I don't want to go there. The recent changes have already imposed a
significant PITA factor on generating minor-release notes, and this
would push it past what I care to deal with.
As I've remarked before, the issue would disappear if we were to
back-patch the XML-ization of the documentation. So I'd be fine
with this if we did it uniformly in the supported branches. Otherwise
I think the costs outweigh the benefits.
