Refer to http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-docs/2015-February/005863.html For consideration is that going to RST/Sphinx is meant to simplify authoring. Conditional, especially at the phrase level, is not simplification. Please do study it further though if you are interested! I could be persuaded to have one set of guides remain complicated if presented with enough information. My sense of it today is that it's not part of our primary goals going forward though.
