I'd like to hear more about the justification for this - the
ubuntu-serverguide package currently builds nicely from the
ubuntu-docs source package and we are using the material in the
desktop documentation for ubuntu-docs as well. It's pretty helpful to
have it in the same branch I think.

If we start creating new branches for each generic document that might
be used by other derivatives, things are going to get super confusing.
Currently we are making a distinction between our branches for
derivatives, and the serverguide is not (only) documentation for a
specific derivative, it's documentation that is used in Ubuntu (and
possibly xubuntu too?).

To be honest, I don't think this is much of a barrier. It's pretty
simply to state where to find the document at
