I don't want to lose the classic vs extended visual comparison.
These were one the most valuable tables to me.
Maybe instead of intro.rst call it classic_vs_extended.rst ?
or history.rst ?

That would be patch 2 as-is plus extra tables and text
that this patch removes.
There will be a bit of overlap between history.rst
and instruction-set.rst.
I think it's ok.

The rest makes sense to me.

Maybe Daniel has better ideas.
