@@ -22,13 +22,6 @@ New in 1.14:
 
 * Obsolete features removed:
 
-  - The long-obsolete (since automake 1.10) AM_PROG_MKDIR m4 macro has
-    been removed.  The $(mkdir_p) make variable and the @mkdir_p@
-    substitutionl still remains available for the moment, as aliases
-    of $(MKDIR_P), for better backward compatibility; but you are
-    advised to stop using ASAP, as they might be removed in future
-    Automake versions.
-
   - Support for the long-deprecated name 'configure.in' for the Autoconf
     input file has been removed altogether.  Just use the modern name
     'configure.ac' instead.
