my recollection is that the Sounders were on the schedule for Warty,
but it didn't work well, since these points release are done, as seen
for all 3 releases, when the distro team feel they have an installable
version; which is not always consistent with a schedule done months
beforehand.
But in any case, this is not really docteam spec-issue but a distro
team issue: our latest docs are always in the repo, and in theory
should always be ready to install on moments notice; unless there is a
syntax error in them, which shouldn't be the case if tested before a
commit; and even then, should be solved before the next twice-weekly
update.
I guess it is a docteam issue if we push specific docs and milestones
in the docteam schedule to be ready by the time of specific point
release. But in the past, specific point release have always slipped
in the distro schedule, so I don't think it is something we should do;
Better keep it to more general "X weeks before release, this should
be done", "Y weeks before release, Y will be done", etc.
