OK, great.

Would the following look like some reasonable middle ground?
1. Link to the wiki for the time being, getting rid of volatile, and
pointing users without any IP restrictions to some documentation.
2. Get the ball rolling to update the devref.
3. Switch the link from the wiki to the devref once the latter is
updated.
Cheers,
