In trying to improve a few things @jcollins1983 called out over here, I think I've got the docs build in a better place. Using tox to build no longer installs fixate, making the build much faster for general iteration on the docs.
pin the deps. I did this to make it easy to install deps in tox, without having to install fixate. But it is good general practice anyway
move the sphinx version constraint into setup.cfg, where there was already a docs extras_require section
at a tox env that compile/upgrades the docs dependencies.
fix version and release strings in sphinx config, which I commented out troubleshooting previous issues.
