The sphinx-pre-install script will put out a verbose message recommending an upgrade for anybody running less than 2.4.4 - which was only released in March. So *everybody* will see that warning at this point. Let's only warn if the user is below our generally recommended version (1.7.9 currently). It might be good to put out a warning if people are explicitly making PDF files, but would need to be done in a different place and relatively few people do that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
