IT passed, ready for review.

Good job Joerg, thanks very much for this improvement. Well done for remembering to update the docs too :-)
Just minor tidying required. I'll check the ITs if you haven't already triggered them.

[arporter]

I see you did run the ITs so I won't do them again just now.

[hiker]

IT are green, ready for next review (I just remember, I fixed up a few existing pylint errors as well ... in case that you are wondering :) )

[arporter]

All good now, thanks for all that tidying Joerg.
Will proceed to merge.

Failure was only linkcheck timeout on nvidia.com so this is good to go.
