Thanks, this is helpful. Let me try to rephrase to see if I understand,
let me know if I'm understanding wrong.

When possible, it's better to split up changes into smaller pieces so
that they can be reviewed more easily.

For this change, it would help to split it up into two different patch series:
"remove tutorial" and "add new tutorial", where the first patch series
deletes all references to the tutorial. If we do it this way, we can
both make sure that there isn't any content that we regret deleting,
and lets us take a look at the documents that reference the tutorial too.
