Why do we need markdown support in the docs?

Why do we need markdown support in the docs?

To be able to use hackmd/codimd to collaborate on doc that can then be integrated into the real doc without conversion.

But aside from that, we already have markdown document in our docs, they are not being introduced by this change. What this change does is enable to use actual sphinx stuff from those docs rather than being limited to prose and external links.
