Are there any safeguards on the Hackage server side to guarantee consistency between the uploaded package and the uploaded docs? (i.e. make sure it's the right version etc.) Are there checks on the server side that the cross-package links are correct? Does the server make sure that the docs contain source links?
If I'm reading [1] correctly, no such checks are performed.
If the answer to any of these questions is "no", I consider even the possibility of uploading docs by hand a bug. Wrong/partial documentation is worse than no documentation at all...
