Switch from widely supported unified/rehype to own rehype-incompatible markdown tooling just for build time speed improvement is quite upsetting

Good that they added a tool to keep using rehype, but I’m unsure that it will last

We don't intend on removing support for the unified ecosystem, we on purpose made the Markdown processing pipeline pluggable so that it was possible for both to exists!

The vast majority of our users don't use any sort of unified plugins, so a pipeline that's faster (and about 100 deps leaner) felt like a better default.
