Subject: [PATCH] docs: doc-guide: clarify latest theme usage
Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 15:36:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250519223613.37277-1-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)

We have been using the Alabaster theme as the default theme since
Sept. 2022.

Keep the information on the RTD theme around in case someone wants to
try it with the DOCS_THEME environment variable.

Fixes: 26d797ffc1c0 ("docs: update sphinx.rst to reflect the default theme change")
