Re: New "Docs common partials" repository/module

[Petr Bokoc]

Hi,

that's a pretty good idea. Not sure about "about <product>", those 
aren't being reused at all I think (we *could* do that with a bunch of 
ifdefs, but for the love of everything that's holy let's not...), but 
the legal notice or the feedback page would definitely benefit from an 
arrangement like that.

I'll get on it let's say next week unless someone really objects to the 
idea.
