Yeah, in principle, anyone who's able to build the v10 branch's docs
should be ready for such a change.  We had discussed polling the
pgsql-packagers list to see whether anyone would have a problem with
changing the docs build toolset for the pre-v10 branches, but I don't
think we actually asked them.
