-block migration (since 8.2)
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-Block migration is too inflexible. It needs to migrate all block

-old compression method (since 8.2)
-''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-Compression method fails too much. Too many races. We are going to
-remove it if nobody fixes it. For starters, migration-test
-compression tests are disabled because they fail randomly. If you need
-compression, use multifd compression methods.
+``fd:`` URI when used for file migration (since 9.1)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The ``fd:`` URI can currently provide a file descriptor that
+references either a socket or a plain file. These are two different
+types of migration. In order to reduce ambiguity, the ``fd:`` URI
+usage of providing a file descriptor to a plain file has been
+deprecated in favor of explicitly using the ``file:`` URI with the
+file descriptor being passed as an ``fdset``. Refer to the ``add-fd``
+command documentation for details on the ``fdset`` usage.

have large amounts of data that would mean that the CPUs would be
paused for too long if they were sent in one section. For these
