Yes, but absolute independence is an impossible goal.
actually all docs depends on the distribution/snapshop in which they
are. My proposal was to limit this into a singular dependency on the
current stable.
Thus I said "docs are always stable".
We could put the tree even in the <dist>/stable dir or on a higher level
(I prefer the former because it permits to have exceptions: docs
depending on unstable); it's not so important.
even source is deep inside the tree, but go on a separate cd; the same
for documentation.

It is. But I prefere to put more attention in keeping docs up-to-date.
that's the goal. The rest is "gratis" :-)
