Thanks, Tobias. The explanation for this contradiction is very simple
and boring: When we decided to change our convention to inserting a
newline at the end of each sentence [3], we updated the Markdown
Conventions on the Qubes website, but we forgot to update them on the
GitHub README. This is exactly why we don't like to have the same
content in more than on place: it inevitably becomes desynchronized. The
right solution is to deduplicate the content, so I've replaced the
duplicate content on the GitHub README with a link to the Documentation
Guidelines. Apologies for the confusion, and thank you for pointing it out.
