Change default value of intersphinx_disabled_reftypes #9804

Conversation

Purpose

Incompatible change of default value for intersphinx_disabled_reftypes to disallow std:doc references without an explicit intersphinx inventory to be resolved by intersphinx.

Implements step 2 of #9459 (comment), essentially fixing #2068.

Detail

Transparent intersphinx resolution is great in many cases, but for :doc: and :ref: it can be surprising, hence disabling them by default is preferable. Users can change the configuration variable, or better yet, write an explicit intersphinx inventory name in each reference they intend to go outside the current project.
