The problem behind this is that the hardened patchset[1]. Quite recently this led to a weird problem when Linux 5.12 was dropped (and thus had to be removed from `nixpkgs`), there were no patches for 5.13, so `linuxPackages_hardened_latest` had to be downgraded to 5.10 as base[2] which may be rather unintuitive and unexpected. To avoid these kind of "silent downgrades" in the future, it makes sense to drop the attribute entirely. If somebody wants to use a hardened kernel, it's better to explicitly pin it using the newly introduced versioned attributes, e.g. `linuxPackages_4_14_hardened`.

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.
