 Description   

All new storage engines use the listCollection/listIndexes commands and querying the namespace collection will not return any values. This renders all pre-2.8 drivers unable to work with Wired Tiger in most circumstances. We need to clearly mark that 2.8 WT support requires the latest official drivers.

I think you want to call out the fact that you need to use a new driver in that first section and just link with "more info" to the compatibility section: http://docs.mongodb.org/master/release-notes/2.8-compatibility/#wiredtiger-and-previous-versions. However, you should make it clear that not only the shell won't work, but that the drivers won't work either.

It should be called out in the "getting started with wt" section that you must have the updated drivers.
