Günter, I'm surprised that you're making such uninformed statements.
Sphinx is not intended as a replacement for docutils, and it does not
try to make docutils obsolete.  You should know that by now.  Otherwise,
don't you think I wouldn't have bothered porting docutils to Python 3
or contributing back speedup patches?

Correct.  Sphinx builds upon docutils, and uses as much of docutils as 
possible, with the LaTeX writer being the only exception (and I've often
enough acknowledged that a sync is in order.)
