1. install sphinx-build (pip(3) install sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme)
2. make html
3. (xdg-)open doc/arm/_build/html/index.html

or just download it from:

https://bind9.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/v9_16_15/pdf/

Umm, what? The ISC GitLab is run by ISC. All the data is handled
by ISC.

But even if it wasn’t - it’s about choices where to invest the time.
Do you want us rather improving the code because we can focus
or rather the development team should invest the time to scan
multiple sources for incoming issues? I think that the rational choice
here is obvious.

I can chit-chat here as much as I like because it’s Sunday and I was
waiting for the vaccination registration to be open for my age group,
but as long as I am fully in the work mode, I need a single source of
truth for all the issues, all the merge requests, so I don’t spend much
time on searching “where the heck the information was” because it’s
all in the one place. I don’t think it’s too much to ask a little bit of
inconvenience from the users, so we can actually focus on fixing
bugs and improving the software.
