Description Antonin Godard 2025-01-08 14:12:16 UTC

Mark sent a message[1] with a new documentation proposal for the multiconfig feature. The current multiconfig documentation[2] is not really extensive and doesn't give best practices.

This ticket to track this message and its addition to the documentation.

Tasks:

- Format Mark's message in rst syntax.
- Document the BB_CURRENT_MC variable.
