#
# MkDocs 1.x are no longer maintained upstream.  MkDocs 2.x, while not
# yet released, are not backwards compatible and have made some
# questionable design choices, such as removing plugin support.  MkDocs
# 1.x have been then forked into ProperDocs, which are not a drop-in
# replacment.  Also, Zensical started being independently developed.
#
# Over all this time, MkDocs have been barely used in ::gentoo,
# and the work invested in keeping the whole stack working, along with
# all the plugins and NIH dependencies, greatly exceeded the benefit.
# It does not help that most of this is developed with the assumption
# that docs will be built straight from the git repository.
#
# Removal on 2026-04-18.  Bug #971358.
