That would be really great!

I expect the build time to be reduced dramatically (rughly ~ 1/9, due to 
building only one arch instead of nine), but I have no definite values, 
expecially not for the run on www-master.

None at the moment.

Thanks for considering this MR.
It would give us the possibility to move r-n to sphinx, which would be a
great deal!
