Patience is a virtue. Across the months and years I have noticed increasingly 
longer lag times (now measured in hours) between when the daily build occurs 
for a package and when the build report has propagated to the `pkg-build` 
server & documentation has propagated to the `docs` server.  (Even though, as 
others have pointed out, the record on `pkgs` itself usually notices commits 
within a few minutes.)

I don't know for sure, but I take this to be a consequence of the overall daily 
build taking longer than it used to, because there are more packages. Which is 
a good thing.

I don't know if `pkgs.racket-lang.org <http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/>` was meant 
to be a package-discovery tool for end users. I imagine not, because we have 
the beautiful Scribble documentation system, which is where the worthwhile 
user-facing information about a package lives. Whereas the package server has 
records largely of interest to package developers and other machines.
