Well, "somebody" will likely be me, of course.  Sleep is overrated.
make check is not all that slow, and I can leave the full doc build to
Patchy (assuming he is still on regular duty: there is actually no
reason why he shouldn't be).  That leaves the translations.  Now we can
reset them if needed, but I prefer not to do that since rewinding
published history is a nuisance, and I don't really want to force the
translators to mess more with their repositories than necessary.  I
suppose I'll push that thing shortly and hope for the best.
