SP IncludeMetadataFilter wiki documentation

The documentation at:

	https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SP3/IncludeMetadataFilter 

says:

"The Include MetadataFilter, identified by type="Whitelist", deletes metadata for any entity not matched inside the plugin's configuration.

As of V3.2, this type name is deprecated in favor of Include and the original name will be removed in a future release."

With an example of:

<MetadataFilter type="Whitelist">
    <Include>https://idp.goodguy.com/shibboleth</Include>
</MetadataFilter>

I'm confused as to exactly what is deprecated? It sounds like using type="Whitelist" is what's deprecated, but that is still in the example, and it's not clear what else one would do? Does it mean it's supposed to be:

<MetadataFilter type="Include">
    <Include>https://idp.goodguy.com/shibboleth</Include>
</MetadataFilter>

which seems to have a redundant number of Includes :)? Same question for the documentation on exclude:

Thanks...
