Yes, but it should be easy to add it at the tool. I'll address it, test
on Leap and submit it.

Sorry for that. I'll drop the hunk. I may eventually submit in separate
a patch series with the scripts I used for testing, but before that,
I guess we need first to move doc-related stuff to tools/docs, as

Did you try with docs-next instead? I remember Jon caught one
issue causing the doctree cache to expire. Can't remember if this
was on 6.15 or at docs-next, but the fixes should be applied there.
