It's important to maintain bisectability, yes. But functionality should be evaluated at the end of the series, not intermediate steps. I don't have a strong opinion either way on if these two patches are merged, or not. So on a similar note, all of the feedback about the current env documentation is good and helpful, but I think a txt -> rST then enhance the rST makes the most sense so that we don't "hide" improvements within the migration. -- Tom
