I wouldn't take much to put it back. But at this point I'm waiting to see some consensus from the community.
I think that a good index adds to the value of any piece of documentation, and I have to confess to being slightly baffled that there's an opposing view. If there were a way of automatically ensuring that the documentation matched the code, whether through automatic generation or automatic testing, that might make the maintainer's job easier, but that may not be practical.
