I thought that seeing as most sites are probably
auto-generated/updated using maven that someone would have cron'd
this?

I believe the last time we spoke about this topic we stumbled on the lack of distinction between stable and unstable documentation in maven. With the default maven configuration, updating the site automatically means publishing unstable javadoc API and documentation pages that do not apply to the latest release, which is confusing for users. Some projects likes [collections] or [digester] have hacked the publishing process to generate separated documentations for released API and developpement API, but this is not generalized yet. We just need someone courageous to step in and harmonize the maven configurations for all commons projects, or even better patch maven directly.
