My whole point is this:

People who are doing the work get to decide things. So far, no-one has stepped 
up to do proper maintanence of documentation for as long as cocoon has 
existed as our docs build engine. Fairly regularly people would update one 
module and leave 5 broken or leave them in uncompilable states. Because 
Cocoon is an absolute PITA to use for CLI stuff, no one new has really wanted 
to touch it.

Compare this to anakia. Simple to work/modify, simple to maintain (virtually 
none required), fast to use, doesn't require massive download of unreleased 
products etc... 

Now if you change avalons build now. Who is going to maintain it in a week? 
How about a month? a year? Going from historical perspective I would say that 
no one is going to maintain and thus we will end up with a broken environment 
.... yet again. What makes you think this time is different? Or do just not 
care that your actions cause other people problems and cause them to waste 
hours upon hours?

I refuse to be laden with work because you have a religion.
