For my 2¢ -- my use case is that I typically have to read the release
notes prior to an update announcement (nevermind major release) and turn
it into...an update announcement.
What I've done as of late is that I check out whatever the latest stable
branch is and build the docs locally using the HTML styles, and read
them that way. That seem to work fine. It adds about 2-3 minutes to my
workflow, but for the frequency at which I have to do that, it's not all
that painful.
Would going to a URL make it easier? Sure. Is it worth the effort we'd
likely put Magnus, and possibly myself, through to make it easier? I
don't know.
