Ned, I am aware. It is a doc-only fix, like fixing a typo or correcting
an incorrect statement. It that is against policy, let me know.

That said, looks like 3.3 documentation is not "sphinxed" anymore to the
webpage, so that actually makes the point high and clear. I have a
browser tab open to check a 3.3 doc fix and it is not showing.

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

My understanding is that doc changes are treated the same as any other
code changes. As you noticed, after a release leaves maintenance mode,
its documentation is no longer updated on the web site.

To echo Ned, committing a doc change to 3.3 isn't the end of the world.
We just want to make sure energy is focused on the 3 branches we do
fully maintain.
