From the documentation itself:
:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
{Vi: start editing in open mode}
...
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex
mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole
screen instead of only one line.
Part of the reason behind this is to make removing vi_diff.txt easier,
although it's also because :open is not too useful.

A couple lines tripped me up while reading through this document for the first
time. This change aims to reword/rework these areas, so that they are clearer
on the first read.
All of this information is a combination of incorrect, outdated, or
redundant given its availability in other help files.

Note about ~/.local/share/nvim/site used in one usr_\* file: this one talks
about user-local installation of third-party plugins, and
~/.local/share/nvim/site is the proper place for them. Most other files talk
about user own configuration and this is ~/.config.
Commit e3568364 ("default: enable 'langnoremap'. #2853") enabled it by
default but forgot to remove the lines saying it's disabled by default.

It is not logical that on UNIX permissions can prevent even writing temporary
file, while on other OS it will first write temporary file and then fail during
rename.
Modifications:
- If file was not written due to write error then writing stops and temporary
file will not be renamed.
- If NeoVim detects that target file is not a ShaDa file then temporary file
will not be renamed.
Notes:
- E136 code greatly changed its meaning: now it is write error and not read
error.
- E195 was removed because shada_read_everything will already do all the
necessary error reporting.
- E886 can be reported by both :rshada and :wshada, but :rshada comes first and
AFAIR it is the only error which is not E575 and can be reported by :rshada.
What works:
1. ShaDa file dumping: header, registers, jump list, history, search patterns,
substitute strings, variables.
2. ShaDa file reading: registers, global marks, variables.
Most was not tested.
TODO:
1. Merging.
2. Reading history, local marks, jump and buffer lists.
3. Documentation update.
4. Converting some data from &encoding.
5. Safer variant of dumping viminfo (dump to temporary file then rename).
6. Removing old viminfo code (currently masked with `#if 0` in a ShaDa file for
reference).
