I would rather keep the doc if possible, even if we can't build it right 
now (I haven't evaluated this yet). I'm considering instead opening an 
upstream issue and/or PR with a few janitorial fixes including this one. 
I've also opened an issue to try to get them to sign their release tags, 
currently they aren't even using annotated tags.
