I decided to give a try with Sphinx last stable version (1.17.4), and noticed several issues. The worse one was with the networking book: a non-standard footnote there with [*] instead of a number causes it to break PDF building.
So, I took some spare time to address some warnings all over the tree, and moved a few text documents to a book. I with I had more time to move the other ones and to solve other warnings.
