Well, unattended ones are prone to doing that. Having multiple unrelated
instances further magnifies this issue. However, in the aforementioned
proposal, I suggested that Dave (and perhaps others? i.e. devs) would help
oversee and/or shape this *single* documentation resource in order to keep
it current and accurate. Hence, IMHO I see this as an all-encompassing
solution.

Best wishes,
