Now that's an interesting idea; I hadn't thought about that. Doing so, though, implies a willingness to stage unloved docs *out*, and my experience is that there is little appetite for that. It also kind of implies moving docs twice - at least for the ones that get updates - and that may not be entirely appreciated. > > I feel like it would, if anything, reduce the incentive to > > deal with these leftover documents properly. > > IMHO, it is just the opposite.

So I don't have any hard numbers, but my feeling is that this work is continuing apace and perhaps even picking up. Certainly I'm having a harder time keeping up with it, even when you're busy with other things :) These things take time; I'm not really ready to give up on it yet. Thanks, jon
