Agreed, there is no point in asking if we can’t follow up. Other than
that, I don’t really have an opinion about asking the advisory board.

I think 15 minutes is still long enough for someone writing docs to lose
interest and start looking at pictures of cats instead. I think we
should aim to get it down to the time taken to rebuild the docs, so
around 1 minute.

If that requires a big change in the current infrastructure, then I
guess we need to make a big change in the current infrastructure.
