What does that mean?

And clean up my release directory and rebuild the XEmacs package and
if Reiner has done any testing or building of the RPM, this would have
to be repeated.  And moving tags when built tarballs are already being
swapped around is a nuisance.  And then I have to send the stuff again
into Reiners mailbox and hope that he or his mail program do not mix
up the different versions I sent him.

It's not like Reiner has not mentioned the docs several days ago
already.

I can't speak for him.  If you think it really desirable, I can still
do the procedure again.  If I did, I would also mention in the RELEASE
file exactly what formats will be available from our download site
(after tagging and sending the tarball off I found that information
rather vague).

So if you think it really worthwhile, holler.
