Wait, one thing: we use doc/requirements.txt in .readthedocs.yml. Is it really a
good idea to add there sphinx, when it uses containers? I can test it in a
separate branch, but we discussed some time ago that we should avoid adding
sphinx for readthedocs.

Wouldn't be in the end better to keep 'pip install sphinx' in Makefile instead
(the previous proposal).

Kind regards,
