Putting it there is surely possible. Keeping it maintained is absolutely
impossible, if you expect an update to happen as part of the release
process. The release process is already complex enough, so there 
shouldn't be any additional steps in the release process.

Instead, having people point out inconsistencies and them somebody
fixing them is something that could work.
