Re: Bootstrap deleted DOC-nnn file

[Richard Stallman]

    Perhaps a running Emacs could create a kind of "lock file" for DOC it
    uses (maybe even using the same machinery we already have in
    filelock.c), and then "make bootstrap" could refrain from deleting a
    DOC file thus "locked".

I suppose it is possible, but why do this
rather than the simple solution -- just don't delete them?
