I agree!

My understanding (which is at /least/ 2nd or 3rd hand) is that the doc
builds were turned off intentionally because it was a security issue, and
that they are unlikely to come back.

Now, assuming that is the case, how can we solve the "there is no
documentation" issue?  Some ideas to kick-start discussion:

 - Provide an option to include haddocks in the sdist bundle, and extract
them on Hackage for display.
 - Add a 'cabal uploadHaddock'
 - Run all haddock builds in a VM/docker container / etc.. that mitigates
the security concerns.
 - ???
