Why the info 'A worker can handle no more than 1024 simultaneous connections' has been removed from http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html ?

Hello,

Previous we could find this very important information on the "nginx for Windows" page ( http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html ) :

Known issues
...
A worker can handle no more than 1024 simultaneous connections.
...



Why has it been removed ?
I struggled a lot understanding why increasing worker_connections above 1024 was not working on Windows.



I had to search forums to find this crucial information that existed previously on the page.

Ex:

https://serverfault.com/questions/616281/nginxphp-scalability-on-windows

https://www.ruby-forum.com/t/nginx-window-native/214687

https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,188714,188714

https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,258259,258261


You can see that the content of the "Know issues" paragraph that existed at the time was quoted and that it included the sentence.


Strangely it is still included here :
https://www.cnginx.com/docs/windows.html
