 ### How do I upgrade to `abstract-level`?
 
-_This section is a work in progress that will explain how to replace old modules (that are based on `levelup` and `abstract-leveldown`) with new `abstract-level` based modules. At the time of writing, no `abstract-level` implementation has been published yet._

-We've put together several upgrade guides for different modules. For example, if you're currently using `level@7` and no other modules (ignoring transitive dependencies of `level`) then it will suffice to read the upgrade guide of `level@8` (_not yet available_).

-Naming-wise, databases generally use an npm package name in the form of `*-level` while utilities and plugins are called `level-*`. This replaces the [down versus up](https://github.com/Level/abstract-level/issues/6) naming scheme. Similarly, while it was previously helpful to distinguish between "database" and its "underlying store", now you will mostly just encounter the term "database" in documentation.

 <!-- If you use a combination of the above, you must upgrade all to their `abstract-level` equivalent. E.g. the old `level@7` cannot be combined with `prefix-level@1` and the old `encoding-down` can't be combined with anything. -->
 
-The following modules are or will be deprecated: `leveldown`, `memdown`, `level-mem`, `rocksdb`, `rocksdb-level`, `subleveldown`, `level-party`, `multileveldown`. The same goes for `levelup`, `deferred-leveldown`, `encoding-down` and [`level-packager`](https://github.com/Level/packager), which in addition have no replacements as their functionality was merged into `abstract-level`.
