Please leave this part out.  This is a controversial, technically 
unsound and rejected request made by docs teams.  We simply cannot 
frequently have RPM updates purely for documentation and translation 
updates (although it is fine to include such updates if an update 
happens for typical reasons).

I have told them an alternative way to do this that enables the ability 
for unlimited docs updates and faster turnaround, but they have not 
listened.
