Sorry, but I am not sure what user-facing "docs" option you are
referring to; is this some earlier mistake we made that is way too
entrenched to fix?  I do know about the "make docs" that barfs with
"*** No rule to make target 'docs'.  Stop.", and I would call it
user-facing.  I would say it is a bit too old to "correct" without
disrupting existing users.

Thanks.
