If the 2.6 documentation will be available in the future, there is no 
reason to repeat it in the 2.8 version. In my opinion a "What's new in 
2.8" chapter will be enough. Perhaps two new chapters in appendix A 
instead: "What's new in 2.6?" and "What's new in 2.8?" would satisfy the 
curious user.
