-Backwards compatible type names
--------------------------------
-
-When pyOpenSSL was originally written, the most current version of Python was 2.1.
-It made a distinction between classes and types.
-None of the versions of Python currently supported by pyOpenSSL still enforce that distinction:
-the type of an instance of an :class:`X509` object is now simply :class:`X509`.
-Originally, the type would have been :class:`X509Type`.
-These days, :class:`X509Type` and :class:`X509` are literally the same object.
-pyOpenSSL maintains these old names for backwards compatibility.
-
-Here's a table of these backwards-compatible names:
-
-======================  ==========================
-Type name               Backwards-compatible name
-======================  ==========================
-:class:`X509`           :class:`X509Type`
-:class:`X509Name`       :class:`X509NameType`
-:class:`X509Req`        :class:`X509ReqType`
-:class:`X509Store`      :class:`X509StoreType`
-:class:`X509Extension`  :class:`X509ExtensionType`
-:class:`PKey`           :class:`PKeyType`
-:class:`PKCS7`          :class:`PKCS7Type`
-:class:`PKCS12`         :class:`PKCS12Type`
-:class:`NetscapeSPKI`   :class:`NetscapeSPKIType`
-:class:`CRL`            :class:`CRLType`
-======================  ==========================
-
-Some objects, such as :class:`Revoked`, don't have ``Type`` equivalents, because they were added after the restriction had been lifted.
