I noticed there's a binary for bitdoc, it's been broken for a long time but can't see if it's not meant to be used or not. I have made a WIP patch to fix it, but should it be removed maybe if it's not intended, if so I will make a patch to remove it to make the codebase better. I will leave the WIP patches in the attachments, thanks

Yeah, that's specifically what I am talking about
Thanks, I've done a review of what this script was doing and I'm going to propose a patch to delete it. I did use your code to see what it actually did though, thanks!
I agree that it may need removing, although I will say I am not 100% confident the `replace` function works as intended. Since I can't seem to replicate the original behaviour when this did work, just mentioning since you used my patch to test it
Thanks, I think even accounting for some issues like the replace function, this script has been superseded by the data in the manuals. I wanted to double check there wasn't anything in here we were missing but I don't think there is.
