I'm a bit mystified why we build them far *more* often than necessary..
Do we really commit documentation updates more than 6 times per day?
Wouldn't it be reasonably straight-forward to set up a commit-hook that
either kicks off a build itself, drops a file marker some place to
signal a cron job to do it, or something similar?

Have to agree with Bruce on this one, for my part. I wonder if the
change to delay the crons was due to lack of proper locking or
tracking, or perhaps a lack of a filter for just changes which would
impact the documentation..

Thanks,

Stephen
