 External Dialects
 -----------------
 
-.. versionchanged:: 0.8
-   As of SQLAlchemy 0.8, several dialects have been moved to external
-   projects, and dialects for new databases will also be published
-   as external projects.   The rationale here is to keep the base
-   SQLAlchemy install and test suite from growing inordinately large.
-
-   The "classic" dialects such as SQLite, MySQL, Postgresql, Oracle,
-   SQL Server, and Firebird will remain in the Core for the time being.
+Currently maintained external dialect projects for SQLAlchemy include:
 
-.. versionchanged:: 1.0
-    The Drizzle dialect has been moved into the third party system.

 The **dialect** is the system SQLAlchemy uses to communicate with various types of DBAPIs and databases.
 This section describes notes, options, and usage patterns regarding individual dialects.
