+      <p>
+	As of OTP 26, the <seeguide
+	marker="erts:erl_dist_protocol#new_link_protocol">new link
+	protocol</seeguide> will become mandatory. That is, Erlang
+	nodes will then refuse to connect to nodes not implementing
+	the new link protocol. If you implement the Erlang
+	distribution yourself, you are, however, encouraged to
+	implement the new link protocol as soon as possible since the
+	old protocol can cause links to enter an inconsistent state.
