I think that's an acceptable middle ground. I would prefer to have the artifacts to test the upgrade procedures with and with a designated committer to review, commit and release the docs as progress is made we should all be able to call this approach a win.
I've yet to get any kind of environment setup to roll my own release and I would prefer not to have that overhead just to test the upgrade and make improvements to the docs. Does Jenkins have current {stable} artifacts that can be used to install 4.2.1 and test with for upgrades?
