Forgot to mention, but: I don't find the above argument very convincing.
The buildfarm machines are not expected to build documentation, and many
developers seem not to have installed doc tools either. So I think this
would be raising the bar another notch in terms of what's required to do
development or testing, even if it does overlap with docs-build needs.
