That might be true if all you care about were the generated documents,
but we need to pay attention to readers of .rst files as plain-text.

There are a bunch of references to line numbers in RCU documents.
If explicit line numbers are removed from snippets, such readers need
to count the lines by themselves, which doesn't sound reasonable to me.

If you can put labels to referenced lines within code snippets, auto
generation of line numbers might work, but as far as I know, Sphinx
doesn't provide such a nice feature.

Of course, you can prove me wrong.

Thanks, Akira
