No, I do not. I was afraid that the proposed change would make that the case, so that different builds for the same release that I obtain as Windows binaries would somehow have exactly the same doc (and Lisp source code?). That would be bad. As I said before, I did not understand the proposal (and still don't). But IIUC now, it seems to affect only those who build Emacs and not those of us who use prebuilt (e.g. by Sean) Windows binaries. The zip file for a given prebuilt Windows binary will, IIUC, still contain the up-to-date doc and Lisp code. If so, fine, and please ignore the noise of my question and lack of understanding.
