@@ -45,11 +45,6 @@ In order to add a feature to Pyramid:
 - The feature must not add unnecessary dependencies (where "unnecessary" is of
   course subjective, but new dependencies should be discussed).
 
-The above requirements are relaxed for scaffolding dependencies.  If a scaffold
-has an install-time dependency on something that doesn't work on a particular
-platform, that caveat should be spelled out clearly in *its* documentation
-(within its `docs/` directory).
