I believe the CI failures are unrelated

LGTM. However, while we are at it, we should really fix all the first lines of all the modules.
There are some that are 2 sentences on the same like (should be 1), or 1.5 sentences (should be 1), and we should be consistent (like in javadocs) in using the 3rd person, i.e. not "Enable the Server thread pool." but "Enables the Server thread pool."

Alternatively, we should open a new issue for fixing the descriptions.

I've had an initial go at improving the modules, but I think I'll start another process to have all the module descriptions improved.

As a separate PR? or in this one?

[gregw]

I've done an initial pass in this PR. But I think the full cleanup needs to be passed to the doco team to :

• ensure the same voice is used for all descriptions.
• it ties into the doco with same descriptions
• the links are correct etc.

So i don't want it to hold back this issue.
