You develop in Linux and are looking for work, and are requested to provide CV as a .doc file - what would you do?

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

And I presume you edit your CV at least once a week.

In a market where there the employers can pick, you want to play by the
rule. Where you, as an employee can pick, they, mostly, will play by your
rules.

When you're out looking for a job, your rules are dictated by those who
hire. When you are being contacted by head hunters or via friends, you can
dictate the rules, again, to a level.

"maintaining" your CV is zero work. I have invested more time in reading
this thread (and replying to it) than I have invested in my CV for the last
four or five years.
