Comment by J Rassi [ 24/Mar/17 ]

I've decided to keep the existing information referencing 26compat intact in the manual. The majority of the remaining mentions of 26compat are within a page dedicated to helping users upgrade to the legacy driver from 26compat, and the rest of the mentions are in various addenda that are clearly not advertising use of the driver. Furthermore, we don't provide renderings of old copies of the manual (or a copy of the manual on the 26compat branch at all), so it's not as easy for users to check out an old version of the code in order to read information about the 26compat driver.
