@humitos Is there any way to do scheduled rebuilds on RTD? Part of why this site is on GA + GitHub Pages (other than historic reasons) is that GA allows us to perform regular rebuilds of the site.

Hrm, I'd say it's not possible, no 😞 At least in an automated way with the default features.
That said, you could always do it using the APIv3 (https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/v3.html#build-triggering) and a cronjob somewhere else -- but I suppose that's one of the things you want to avoid 😄
do you think this would be meaningfully useful to Sphinx's maintainers?
Unsure. What would I as a Sphinx maintainer be looking for here?

If I knew that, I wouldn't ask. :P
More seriously, I'm guessing it'd be a reasonable gauge for "how does the newer version affect themes" and if the theme ecosystem is ready for the newer Sphinx version -- point of the pre-releases is to provide early testing, and this would probably serve as some of that. :)
Follows from #114 -- it would be good to build websites with latest Sphinx prerelease and latest development branch of Sphinx, to provide meaningful information to the developers of themes and Sphinx.
/cc @AA-Turner -- do you think this would be meaningfully useful to Sphinx's maintainers? /cc @humitos who has shown how to do this with a build of this site on RTD, in #114.
