Thanks Shaun, this is very interesting. +1 from me. I just feel that the entire process might be a little heavy considering the scarce manpower the docteam has now. But I suppose it should be possible to shortcut some steps, e.g. passing from 'update' to 'final' when a documentation only need very little changes between two consecutive releases.
