Wasn't there also an announcement of the possibility of uploading
generated docs where Hackage fails?

Indeed:

- http://fuuzetsu.co.uk/blog/posts/2014-01-06-Fix-your-Hackage-documentation.html
- http://fuuzetsu.co.uk/blog/posts/2014-01-06-Hackage-documentation-v2.html

Hopefully those two posts are still valid and useful.

Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then
being a real problem in the longer term.
