Why don't you talk to Larry, tell him what you want to produce and see
what he has to suggest?

The LDP have almost started talking how to address this very issue.
I understand that RedHat are entertaining doing their own RedHat
specific versions of documentation, either with or without the help
of the LDP. It is time we (the LDP) thought about what we will do.

We need some good test cases to precipitate some discussion.
