I doubt that anything I can say or do will have much effect on those
who love to hate and who hate to love .rst, and vice versa. It could
be worse -- I could jump into the fray advocating *TYPO, which was the
first text-formatting package that I ever used. And good luck finding
any information on *TYPO at this point. ;-)

But good point, I will adjust my branches to keep Mauro's commit off
the list for v5.9 for the moment.

Thanx, Paul
