 \subsection{When Using an Outdated \TeX\ Live}
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
-When using \TeX\ Live version 2009 or earlier
-(perhaps this also applies to version 2010),
-it may be necessary to use the \lstinline|legacytexlive=true| option.
-You should first try to get away without it,
-but if problems arise then try using this option.
-One of the major effects of this option is
-that \lstinline|bibtex| will be used for the bibliography (if any)
-instead of the newer and recommended \lstinline|biblatex|.
-\par
+To use this style,
+we recommend a \TeX\ Live at least as recent as version 2015.
+If something does not work because your \TeX installation is too old,
+the first step should be to install a more recent version.
+
 Many Linux distributions offer \LaTeX\ as packages,
-but those are most often outdated and not good enough.
-Installing \TeX\ Live\footnote{\url{http://www.tug.org/texlive/}}
-manually is easy and gives an up\-/to\-/date \LaTeX\ system.
-At the time of writing, Ubuntu still ships with the heavily outdated \TeX\ Live 2009.
-Although we recommend a more recent version (at least version 2011)
-it is possible to use the Series' style with \TeX\ Live 2009,
-using the \lstinline|legacytexlive=true| option.
+but those can be outdated and not good enough.
+Installing \TeX\ Live\footnote{\url{http://www.tug.org/texlive/}} manually
+is easy and gives an up\-/to\-/date \LaTeX\ system.
 When using Ubuntu, be sure to install the \lstinline|texlive-full| package.

 In case that German is the main language, the option \lstinline|language=german| should be used.

 Another important change concerns the bibliography if
 \lstinline|bibtex| is used instead of \lstinline|biblatex|.
 Then the style attempts to provide support for a German bibliography
 using \lstinline|babelbib|.
 The default and recommended way however
 is to let the style use \lstinline|biblatex| and \emphasis{not} \lstinline|bibtex|.
-When \lstinline|legacytexlive| is given,
-then this default automatically changes in favor of \lstinline|bibtex|,
