I like the sound of this proposed solution and agree fully with your
intent to get back to a more workable state for documentation
production and creation.
The simple plan as outlined above is frankly much easier to explain
and understand than these autogen GPL-index + GFDL content
machinations. That is unworkable IMHO.
Please, members of the SC, make this case.
