Notes:
    The release notes draft for v2.56.0 already claims that asciidoctor
    has been updated to be installed via the system package manager.
    Clearly it refers to this patch which isn't, however, anywhere near
    the master branch.

I think the description was added to the release notes in 47ce80527c
(A bit more for -rc1, 2026-09-11), one integration cycle after the
2.56-rc0 was tagged.  This patch and Patrick's "gem" patch were
merged between 2.56-rc0 and 47ce80527c (aka "today's master").

So there is nothing to see here, I think.

These two were indeed merged:

* 4340a709bf (ci: fix missing Ruby dependency in "documentation" job, 2026-09-01)
* 1c1eed13bd (ci: drop ALREADY_HAVE_ASCIIDOCTOR variable, 2026-09-02)

But this is a third one (ci: use system asciidoctor)---it seems it was never
picked up.
