 Discussion and future considerations / feedback
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
-The yield-syntax has been discussed by pytest users extensively.
-In general, the advantages of the using a ``yield`` fixture syntax are:
-
-- easy provision of fixtures in conjunction with context managers. 
-
-- no need to register a callback, providing for more synchronous
-  control flow in the fixture function.  Also there is no need to accept
-  the ``request`` object into the fixture function just for providing
-  finalization code.
-
-However, there are also limitations or foreseeable irritations:
+There are some topics that are worth mentioning:
 
 - usually ``yield`` is used for producing multiple values.
   But fixture functions can only yield exactly one value.

-
 - lastly ``yield`` introduces more than one way to write
   fixture functions, so what's the obvious way to a newcomer?
-  Newcomers reading the docs will see feature examples using the
-  ``return`` style so should use that, if in doubt.  
-  Others can start experimenting with writing yield-style fixtures
-  and possibly help evolving them further.
