Strange. The documentation build did work for us on the official test
machine we used to build the documentation. But all I can say is good
riddance to the old documentation system :)

Yeah, that sounds about right. It might have been William who created
the spkg, but I believe those are John's data.

We fixed the bug in Sage 3.3 that caused the excessive number of
snapshots to be kept around and now a new snaphots will be kept only
in case that the content of the worksheet changed. It still does the
snapshotting every so often, it just deletes it when no changes are
detected. This is suboptimal since we still do IO and use CPU cycles
and should be improved via another ticket we already opened.
Unfortunately the current code does not clean out old excessive
snapshots, but I believe such a script could be easily written.
