I have a moment now so I'll probably just do it.

Yes. And I starting to think that it may almost be better to withdraw the
-doc package then.  When we started to package (esp html-based) documentation
back in the day (say 20 years ago) connectivity was way worse.  Today most
people reach for the browser first. I would suspect popcon number support this.

Anyway, thanks for the nag :)
