Comment (by kcrisman):
The reviewer patch is now fine as far as it goes.
----
I'm still a little nervous about such a big change (I know it's not really
big in that sense, but it does make a large change to where things are
located) in an rc. I bet some outside links to the Sage doc will break,
and the biggest problem is that all those helpful `show` options, which
are only documented there, are now not in the same place as `plot`.
Although in principle redistributing like this is good and we should aim
to fix timeouts, it does seem that this ticket was created in response to
a somewhat contrived problem (timeout on busy systems). Presumably
someone can always make a system busy enough that Sage doctests will time
out. I'm just not sure that the last release candidate is the place for
something that should be used "in practice" at least a little while.
I don't have time to come up with any other solutions, and if Ben checked
things out and {{{DOCTEST_MODE}}} and {{{EMBEDDED_MODE}}} and so forth
still work (and whatever other constants like DPI there are) without
trouble in the same ways as before, then I guess that's okay. But it does
seems like (said the person who has never done a release, nor has the
skills to do one) that we should have had a Sage 4.9 a few betas ago so
this kind of thing wouldn't have happened...
