I don't agree with removing the docs from the OSC repo, we try to require
docs updates in the same review as code changes, that will be impossible
otherwise and the published docs will always lag.  How will the docs.o.o
version be maintained current?

If there is something we can do to facilitate a periodic update of
docs.o.o, I am all for it, be it on every commit or at release time (we
release as-needed, not on the integrated cycle), which is my preference.

Also note that our current RST docs contain more than just a one-for-one of
the help output.  It should contain MUCH more in the way of explanation.

Please do not document beta commands in end-user-visible places.  These
commands are specifically made with the enable switch so they do not get
picked up before they are ready for general use.
