Comment (by iwakeh):

 Yes, the audience sort of grew while writing and it's good to take a step
 back and answer this question first.
 Suggestions for next steps:

 * We agree that we should write this for client and not internal audience.
  - Keep the first four sections? Maybe adapt 5 to one about tar-ball
 contents (below month), as most of it is written already?
  - Remove 6. and 7. these should later be part of the operator
 documentation.

 * Then there is a mixture of change proposal and documentation for the
 'index*' part to be resolved.
  - Have version 0.9 with the "index.json*" as the main CollecTor serves it
 and reserve the change for 1.0 (together with the vote-issue #20228)?

 Thoughts?
