Provided that all documents are at the same time, I guess it
doesn't matter having a .rst there or not.

Btw, newer versions of Sphinx build can work with other formats
like markdown. I suspect that, if we end mixing markdown documents,
it would be worth having the extension there.

FYI, someone recently added a markdown file at the tree:

commit e453fa60e086786fe89ba15ee8fef80bc2e6ecc3
Author: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@...gutronix.de>

    Documentation: ubifs: Add authentication whitepaper

	Documentation/filesystems/ubifs-authentication.md

IMO, the best would be to just run pandoc into it and convert
to .rst, than to mix different markup languages.

Thanks,
