-## BTreeMap vs HashMap
-
-Prefer [BTreeMap](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeMap.html)
-over [HashMap](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.HashMap.html)
-and [BTreeSet](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeSet.html)
-over [HashSet](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.HashSet.html)
-as iterating over these structures returns items in deterministic order.
-
-Non-deterministic code may result in difficult to reproduce bugs,
-flaky tests, regression tests that miss bugs
-or different behavior on different devices when processing the same messages.
-
 ## Logging

 For logging, use `info!`, `warn!` and `error!` macros.

-## Documentation comments
-
-All public modules, methods and fields should be documented.
-This is checked by [`missing_docs`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/lints.html#missing_docs) lint.
-
-Private items do not have to be documented,
-but CI uses `cargo doc --document-private-items`
-to build the documentation,
-so it is preferred that new items
-are documented.
-
-Follow Rust guidelines for the documentation comments:
