I haven't been watching closely enough to have a preference. There's millions of jira comments and Jacques alludes to some of the work being in the trunk already, but there's also a branch? A summary of where we are right now would be handy. I'm sure I remember objecting to compile-time documentation builds in response to Tom's work way back when, but I can't seem to find that discussion on the tickets.
