I'm about 50-50 split on this one ... but, if we are still actively
supporting a version of PostgreSQL, we are acknowledging that ppl *are*
still using it, and, therefore, ppl could still be annotating the
interactie docs ...

But ... the docs themselves are pretty static, so *why* are they being
regenerated on a regular basis in the first place?  Couldn't you just
regenerate those files that have comments attached to them, instead of all
of them each time?  It would make the mirrors faster too, since they
wouldn't have to pull down new copies of the complete docs each time, but
only those pages that have actually had changes made to them ...
