Are these being updated by hand or by script presently?  It should not
take much to run a cron job that builds the docs and mirrors them, and I
have a server that could do this job for us.

I agree that the split is not ideal, but it looks we had few options.

Yes, it should be simpler too.  :)  Thankfully.
