There's no real connection there, it's just that the site happens to be
generated from files that are (unfortunately) a part of the distribution. If
you regenerate the site and commit the changed files to the website it doesn't
matter if there's a release that matches it.

I have removed the no-RTTI comments in r1846201.
[~canto...@osu.edu] What's the process for updating the website. Does it
require rolling a new release, or can this change be cherry-picked onto the
website branch?
