When the release target starts copying docs, it fails because some of the
.en docs are missing. Not sure if this is part of the release.sh or the
all-lang-docs target.
Anyway, still doesn't answer my question. Why are we building all docs by
default? Are they all installed in the release target?
If so, I protest. Mainly because this is going to take huge amounts of
space. If we are going to generate all lang's for each arch, then I think
we need to come up with a better way for doc generation (since I'de wager
that more than 85% of the docs are not arch specific).
