The last 5 branches only takes us back to 9.0, which isn't very far. I would want to have at least the 8.x branches in the SGML build, and maybe the 7.x branches as well. I would be happy to drop anything pre-7.x from the docs build and just let the people who care look at the SGML. You seem to be assuming that nobody spends much time looking at the release notes for older branches, but that is certainly false in my own case.
It seems to me that the docs that are shipped should only contain information in regards to supported versions. Frankly there is no reason to ship any release notes except for the version that they are shipping with (e.g; there is no reason for 9.0 to be in 9.1). It is just bloat at that point when we can point everyone to the website or ftp site.
