Live with the inconsistency. I don't know. It feels like we are being extreme without a reason. If we can, for the time being, in the release branch, by commenting two lines of CSS code, make the docs look *significantly* more uniform (and still good looking), why not do it? > > Plus: Start encouraging people to port their docs to Boostbook or > at least use the new L&F CSS now.
