-Controllers
------------
-
-As a best practice, controllers in a bundle that's meant to be distributed
-to others must not extend the
-:class:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\Controller` base class.
-They can implement
-:class:`Symfony\\Component\\DependencyInjection\\ContainerAwareInterface` or
-extend :class:`Symfony\\Component\\DependencyInjection\\ContainerAware`
-instead.

-.. note::
-
-    If you have a look at
-    :class:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\Controller` methods,
-    you will see that they are only nice shortcuts to ease the learning curve.
