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:

Line 191 in 377146f

# 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?
