Yeah, my perspective is mainly "CCCP carries that risk, CCPC doesn't,
so perhaps we should go with the latter if there's no specific reason
for preferring the former".

The part of the RTFD design that seemed relevant is this:
https://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html#import-your-docs

There's also the part about identifying different versions of a
project from the VCS history:
https://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features.html#versions

What got me thinking about it was my suggestion about POST commit
hooks, since RTFD offers those to trigger docs builds, and it seems to
me that most of their other VCS integration features would be useful
too.

Cheers,
Nick.
