Questions:

• How-to deal with deprecated features? eg. multinode mode (https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/3.8.x/en/maintainer-guide/installing/using-multinode-mode.html) - remove or mark as deprecated ?

.. deprecated:: 3.8.0
     Use :ref:`portal-configuration` instead.

• Better help text in the app forms or doc with screenshot and form field description? eg. https://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/3.8.x/en/administrator-guide/configuring-the-catalog/csw-configuration.html
