I wouldn't think so :)

If you look in svn.python.org/projects/doctools, the replacement trees are
already there and waiting to be moved into python/Doc -- they are maintained
in parallel at the moment. Conversion to HTML is stable and the Web version
won't be needed for many months. By that time, a PDF conversion will also be
in place.

I had in mind to write a switch announcement in the next few days.

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
