 Implementing time that supports a vast range is generally **very** difficult, and in RTIC 0.5 it was a
 common problem how to implement time handling and not get stuck in weird special cases. Moreover
-it was difficult to understand the relation between time and the timers used for scheduling. From
-RTIC 0.6 we have moved to use [`embedded_time`] as the basis for all time-based operation and
-abstraction of clocks. This is why from RTIC 0.6 it is almost trivial to implement the `Monotonic`
-trait and use any timer in a system for scheduling.

 The trait documents the requirements for each method, however a small PoC implementation is provided
 below.
