As can be seen by reviewing the cgit repo for LibreOffice Help -- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/log/ there are documentation actions that have to also be performed in the Help (as well as passed out for l10n/i18n translation). While it can seem a nuisance, every change to the UI probably requires a review of the corresponding compiled Help articles--the UX suffers otherwise--and we've not been keeping that side of the UX up. The UI changes should occur, but as changes are being made in rapid succession, the documentation team needs to be supported. Or better, either propose the changes, or go ahead and make the commit to the Help at the same time.
