 From now, I have several perspectives:
- Since PDF builds do not require additional modification to existing 
RST documents, always building would be a good idea
  (although few RSTs might have problems - from previous experiences, 
for example, some deprecated usage or
   unsupported unicode characters in font files).
- Some PDF output might be awkward because of image position and table 
layout, but
   those can be easily modified [1].
- Since PDF builds require additional packages in bindep.txt [2], build 
jobs might be slow.

Petr, how do you think about closing that list and encourage current 
openstack-docs subscribers
to use openstack-dev with [docs] tag?


With many thanks,
