Sphinx 9.1.1 was recently released, and it fixed the previous blockers for us using Sphinx 9. Let's try it!

Please test the RtD preview and let me know if there are any issues!

Converting to draft while the 14 day cooldown is in effect:

# Dependencies have a 14 day cooldown period to mitigate supply chain attacks,

But please test the preview in the meantime :)

except for blurb, python-docs-theme, and sphinx_linklint, which are maintained by core team members

Sphinx is also maintained by (multiple) core developers... would it make more sense to do case-by-case exclusions where a newer version than a fortnight ago is needed?

By multiple core devs, and also multiple others :) I have security on my mind right now, so prefer to err on the cautious.

It's a long time since the last release, but I don't think we're waiting on anything in particular, other than upgrading to keep current, so don't need to rush?
