I HATE those "buts". Around here, we put ALL documentation except Release Notes and Service Notes on the CD. In the box with the CD we only put the Installation document. All documentation, including the Installation, Release Note, and Service Note goes on our Powerlink web site, a password protected site that everyone uses to access documentation, software patches, and complete software releases. Since there is a period of about 2 weeks between CD freeze and GA, anything that is discovered in that period of time goes on the RN, which has to be ready and on Powerlink by the GA date. If we find out that something pretty serious was discovered, we update the appropriate documentation and place that on Powerlink. To make a long story short, all docs except Installation and RN must be ready 2 weeks before GA and Installation and RN on the GA date.
