Hi, Juho!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
As far as I can tell, the variable is still 'kern.quantum' in 4.X.
This is a problem that occurs whenever a new major version
is released; there exists a need for multiple versions of the
documentation to match the "real world."
I believe that doc team is attempting to make a way to
automatically build the docs with "For 4.X do this,
for 5.X do that", but I cannot guess when this will be
accomplished (and I can't find that thread ATM...) ;-)
We'll try and keep you posted.
Kevin Kinsey
