fernape created this revision.
jhb added inline comments.

This is fine (and matches UPDATING)

740

I don't think we want to add this blindly. In UPDATING, the comment for make delete-old mentions make delete-old-libs and explains when it is safe to run. I think you should mirror that arrangement here.

Isn't this warning the same as the comment in line 768 for make delete-old-libs

  • [hb]: Warn about blindly removing old libraries

    As suggested by jhb@
documentation/content/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/_index.adoc
764

I pulled this text directly from src/UPDATING from footnote 6 at the end of the file where it talks about this same general topic (general steps for upgrading from source)

documentation/content/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/_index.adoc
764

The bullet list already has the warning (rephrased, more compact) and then the description list also includes a similar clarification.
I'm not sure if you mean that in the bullet list you want the whole comment.

Thanks!
