Well, the documentation still exists in the old releases, even 8.4.  The
big question is how much back-version information we should keep in our
docs, and does it make sense to keep paragraphs around that are only
meaningful to < 1% of people reading it.  Some people are saying keep
more, some are saying keep less, so I am betting I have hit the proper
balance.  ;-)
