28 Actually, Lance, I have read it. Where does it say anything about a
29 central web repository for the docs in question? Where does it specify
30 the format of those? It doesn't. It assumes that all Gentoo officially
31 cares about is the emerge --news output. Any external docs can live
32 anywhere in any format. Users have asked for a central location for
33 these documents and the transient nature of your current local portage
34 tree doesn't give that.
