"simplifies matters" -- not really. It's the only possible way. We do
all other versions via crosscompilation.

Very. We are talking about 6 hours of build time on a pretty solidly

complicating the Documentation build process in order to get more
compact PDFs.

There will be another prerelease coming up soonish as there were again a
few (just not all) critical fixes.
