I would turn the question around. How important is to *you*? This is
Frontier. Frontier is the verbs. This is the documentation for those verbs.
That documentation is presently, as far as I can tell, several years out of
date. Out of date documentation makes Frontier kind of hard to use. Can you
think of anything that would be a higher priority than for customers to be
able to download up to date documentation?

How did this get so out of sync anyway? The docserver web pages must be
rendered from something, so why can't we download that something? The
notion that docserver.root and the docserver pages we see on the web could
be different at all, let alone as different as they now are, makes no sense
to me.
