It would be pretty simple to create ZIPs/tarballs of the docs subfolder
as separate release artifacts and publish them side by side with the
source and binary releases. They wouldn't need to be signed or hashed.
Also, it would be pretty simple to do so retroactively for our older
releases by going through the tags and publish said ZIPs on
archive.apache.org so we had a place to point people to.
I volunteer to change the distribution target, release instructions and
to create archives for Ant 1.6.5 to 1.8.1 unless anybody objects.

Fine in this case I am reassured :-)

Not completely sure, but most likely I'd download the five distributions
in question and re-package the docs subdirectory. Worst case I'd check
out the svn tags, copy over the (then modified) build.xml from trunk and
create the archives.

Well, "the person" would be me anyway 8-)
Just to be clear, this would be a one-time thing to create the docs for
older releases. Future releases would work the same way as today but
create a few more artifacts and require one more symlink.

How is this going to work ? I am fine with it as long as the release
does not require also sandboxes of the previous versions on the computer
of the person doing the release.
