Creating an index can be a valuable part of the documentation process -
especially if you're on a new product line. Editing the index over and
over during the creation makes you consider terminology, consistency,
traceability through TOC v/s index, etc. It is a tool for your thoughts
about how to organize the document and what to call things, whether you
actually deliver it to end users or not. If the document is several
hundred pages long (new or not), the index is also a great help for
yourself and the reviewers.
