Umm, no, it's not just like the current doc distribution. If you build a release with NODOC=YES, you don't get any rendition of the FAQ, Handbook, etc. There's no *.TXT files to fall back on.
Here's my thoughts...for the record, I'm weakly opposed to regen-ing *.TXT versions: First, I don't want to bloat the repository with oodles of builds to the *.TXT files. If we do this, it ought to be be fairly infrequently, like maybe once or twice a month.
[ snip other good reasons not to regen and commit TXT files ]
I agree completely. On a slightly related note, do you object, or have plans to, build the release notes with the web site? It would solve this problem very nicely. I understand that relnotes will be in src/, so this would have to be an optional part of the build, but at least having them built on www.freebsd.org would suffice.
