Now is a good time. Alex has some nice refactoring work that *hint*
could be pushed to an asf branch Real Soon Now, and we can roll this
into it.

In principle what we would need are 2 things:

- discplined workflow (oh noes) to ensure that all CHANGES-worthy work
has a corresponding update in .rst files, with a suitable
`version-added` tag.
- some nifty python to pull those version-added tags into a section in
the generated docs

I can write up the first part, but I'm not comfortable with the 2nd
bit, assuming its the right approach. Any takers?

A+
