So here I've written two porting.rst patches that aim to reflect the
current state of things (They do _not_ reflect what's in Christoph's
series here as that'ss again pretty separate and will require additional
spelling out.).

I'm adding explanation for both the old and new logic fwiw. I hope to
upstream these docs soon so we all have something to point to.
