I'm well aware that this issue is currently under discussion[1] and that these things may change. Also, please don't misinterpret this as an attempt to end the discussion. This topic made it obvious that people are surprised by the way this issue is handled and only finding out about this unwritten rule because of asking is not a good state IMHO, so I decided to document the following things: * Right now we drop kernels as soon as they get out of maintenance (LTS kernels even before the next stable NixOS that will exceed their lifespan). * The `latestCompatibleLinuxPackages` attribute from ZFS isn't monotonic since latest only refers to the latest supported kernel. * In fact `latestCompatibleLinuxPackages` doesn't seem to be documented at all in the manual, so I also did that.

This directory is temporarily needed while we transition the manual to CommonMark. It stores the output of the ../md-to-db.sh script that converts CommonMark files back to DocBook.
We are choosing to convert the Markdown to DocBook at authoring time instead of manual building time, because we do not want the pandoc toolchain to become part of the NixOS closure.
Do not edit the DocBook files inside this directory or its subdirectories. Instead, edit the corresponding .md file in the normal manual directories, and run ../md-to-db.sh to update the file here.
