According to my experience with egcs and GCC, I'd say this is not a big
issue. In fact I cannot recall a single complaint by a user (though, of
course, the documentation should be added by your release script, in case
you want to continue rolling releases separately from GCC).

No, I think that was quite complete. ;-)

Phil and myself (and Mark) considered all possibilities we could come up
with -- which doesn't mean we might not have overlooked something! One
of the problems was www.gnu.org which is the second official site of our
pages, and also that we want/need everything preprocessed by the script
wwwdocs/bin/preprocess in a simple way.
