You of course realise putting more demands on The Process of existing |
| 9 |
developers, who are in short supply, and their time is also in short |
| 10 |
supply, will, ultimately result in a detriment to the userbase, by |
| 11 |
virtue of them becoming less capable to achieve the same volume of |
| 12 |
tasks? |

Its one thing to make this a policy, which I think on the _surface_ is |
| 15 |
fine, but this one hints towards substantial changes we don't currently |
| 16 |
have tooling support to streamline. |

Maybe think about how we can empower developers to achieve this, and |
| 19 |
then after it becomes remotely practical to do this _at scale_, we make |
| 20 |
it policy to do so? |

Yes, yes, I'm suggesting something perverted like a build server or |
| 23 |
system for aggregating built man-pages on gentoo-servers automatically |
| 24 |
as part of CI, that end users can just trivially fetch. But that's just |
| 25 |
one approach, surely, there are others. |
