Sorry for the disruption, I approved the change. I didn't realize skipping the `venv` altogether was a viable build option and I've been making releases with docs for over two years now. For me this change was mostly a matter of convenience. If the current state is undesirable for downstream distributors, I can revert `make build` being explicitly dependent on `make venv`. Regardless of that, for future build-related changes I'll make sure to loop more people in. - Ł
