        This attribute is special in that it is not actually under the
        <literal>meta</literal> attribute set but rather under the
-       <literal>passthru</literal> attribute set. This is due to a current
-       limitation of Nix, and will change as soon as Nixpkgs will be able to
-       depend on a new enough version of Nix. See
-       <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2532">the relevant
-       issue</link> for more details.
+       <literal>passthru</literal> attribute set. This is due to how
+       <literal>meta</literal> attributes work, and the fact that they
+       are supposed to contain only metadata, not derivations.
