Is it fair to say that https://github.com/thunderbird/autoconfig?tab=readme-ov-file, and the links it provides to other sites, totally cover what is at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:ConfigFileFormat and what was at the MDN links?

• Description of the different mechanisms to serve the configuration file
• How to create your own config file
