Yeah, that can be painful. Btw, at least on Fedora, RTD dark theme is
not working anymore (perhaps because Python 3.10 - the extension announces
it up to python 3.9).

I suspect that maintaining our own theme will require extra efforts to
workaround with per-version ABIs that keep changing on both Python and
Sphinx sides.
