[Haskell-cafe] is it normal for docs to be pending for 24 hours?

[Michael Snoyman]

I shared this thought privately before, but worth sharing publicly if
someone wants to try following up on it: all of the docs build for the
Stackage server are available on S3, and could by leveraged by Hackage as
well. When I brought this up earlier, there was a large-ish list of
requested changes to the generated HTML, which I didn't want to implement,
but perhaps someone can find a way to bridge the gap.
