   chips found in some modem modules; historical flash chip Am29DL640G is also
   supported as it is identical to S29PL064J for our purposes.
 
-* loadtools config: new -h gen8 target configuration is appropriate for many
-  "generic" or "vanilla" Calypso devices with up to 8 MiB of flash; this target
-  selection is appropriate for GTM900 and Tango modems.
+* loadtools config: the repertoire of -h targets has been significantly cleaned
+  up and generalized, moving away from special cases and toward more generic
+  configurations.  Please refer to the new doc/Loadtool-targets article for the
+  details.
 
 * For operating on GTM900 modem modules, the new -h gen8 loadtools target needs
   to be used instead of the old -h gtm900 config which has been removed; while
   most GTM900 variants have 4 MiB flash chips, some have been found to contain
   S71PL064J (8 MiB) flash instead.
 
-* For the sake of completeness, added new -h leonardo target to loadtools
-  config.  Flash support limitation: out of the many different flash chip types
-  that have been used on different Leonardo board variants, the only two we
-  currently support are Am29DL640G (8 MiB) and whatever was the AMD predecessor
-  of Spansion PL129J (16 MiB).  Fujitsu flash chips (or perhaps Spansion chips
-  with Fujitsu ID codes) are not currently supported.
+* The old -h gta02 target for fc-loadtool and friends is deprecated and will be
+  removed in the next release; please use the new -h fic target configuration
+  instead.
 
 * A pair of little ad hoc programs has been been added to the FC host tools
   suite for the purpose of dumping the Calypso chip's internal DSP mask ROM -
