As expected, doing the update of rcParamsDefault proposed above (patch
below) allows the examples.download setting to persist throughout the
documentation build. It seems like either the documentation build
process or rcParamsDefault has been badly broken for a very long
time. Is rcParamsDefault really supposed to be the factory defaults or
is this just a bug? If the former, we will need to introduce a variant
of matplotlib.rcdefaults() to reset the configuration to that specified
in matplotlibrc.
