Always glad to add my $0.02 8).  If we use PDF, we'll have a collection of
independant documents with different formatting, style, and indexing.  
PDF does not allow editing, so if you need to update some documentation,
you would have to cantact the author of that particular doc, rather than
be able to do it yourself. Using a consistent system would allow
everything to be put together in a coherent fashion and with a proper
cross reference, index, and toc.  LaTeX is a good choice, and very
platform independant.
