Updating to the latest version of Sphinx is probably low on my list of priorities, but I was just curious if there was a specific reason for keeping the docs at the older version.<br>

> There's no specific reason for this. We setup Sphinx a while ago and only upgraded once to get markdown support (which is now the preferred format for new docs). The only constraint on upgrading to 2.x would be is it available on our minimum supported platform, or are we willing to have a higher minimum for generating the docs.<br>
There recently was a disscussion about this in phabricator (i think? i<br>
can't seem to find it right now).<br>
That version is way too new, it's not even in debian sid; enforcing it<br>
would be limiting.<br>
