I think we're going to have to drag things forward at some point in the not-too-distant future, but I think I'd rather not do that quite yet. The cost of supporting older sphinx for a few releases while we warn people is not all that high. So I think we should:
- Put in (a future version of) my hacks for now, plus whatever else might be needed to make 2.0 work right.
- Fix the fallout with regard to out-of-toctree .rst files so that we can actually build again with current sphinx.
- Update Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt to ask for something a wee bit more recent than 1.4.9.
- Add a warning when building with an older version that (say) 1.7 will be required as of (say) 5.5.
Does this make sense?
Thanks,
jon
