Description
In docs/howto/deployment/wsgi/uwsgi.txt there is a warning about Debian and Ubuntu shipping outdated versions of uwsgi, prior to uwsgi version 1.2.6. However, current Debian and Ubuntu versions already ship newer uwsgi packages than 1.2.6.
I'm concerned someone who is using an up-to-date version of Debian or Ubuntu might see this note and decide that this means they need to compile uwsgi from source themselves. Then they wouldn't be able to get security patches for their uwsgi binary via apt-get any more.
Debian 8 (jessie) ships version 2.0.7, according to https://packages.debian.org/jessie/uwsgi
(Debian 7 was shipping 1.2.3.)
Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) ships version 1.9.17 according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/uwsgi
(Ubuntu 12.04 was shipping 1.0.3.)

As mentioned on the pull request, I think this note could be removed since it refers to old, end-of-life or near end-of-life versions.

I agree with you that removing the note entirely is a good course of action too.
