Paul & Alexander,

I have updated the YP doc set for the removal of the three classes.  Changes apply to the 2.7 and "master" (2.8)
trees.  You see the effects in:

 * https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/mega-manual/mega-manual.html
 * https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.8/mega-manual/mega-manual.html

Thanks for pointing these out and for the added explanations.

Scott

This is no longer necessary, you can remove the step.

There is no equivalent, you can remove the sectrion.

The equivalent functionality is provided by running devtool - 'devtool
latest-version' for one recipe, 'devtool check-upgrade-status' for
several (or all).

All three should refer to the equivalent replacement (see above)
provided by devtool.
