Thanks for doing this work - I'm definitely in favor of it, and if the
RST format works for the intended readers, we want it.

Do please follow through on Jani's comments.

I am concerned about one thing, though: the licensing of this document
is not GPL-compatible, which means we can't build it into the rest of
the docs.  It looks like it entered Documentation/ from staging, through
Greg's [added to CC] tree.  Greg, were you aware of this licensing when
you added this document?

What are the chances that we can get the authors to agree on a change to
a GPL-compatible license for this file?

Thanks,

jon
