Has MSDN Dropped Compact Framework already?

MSDN

MSDN Documentation used to indicate if a method was supported on the compact framework. But now I can't find that info anymore.

I know that Microsoft has dropped Compact Framework like a hot potato, but I did not know that they had ripped it out of the docs.

As examples of what I am talking about here is a link to the Graphics Members. They used to show which methods were supported in the Compact Framework next to each method. Now they do not.

Also, here are two methods:

The first is not supported in the compact framework, but the second is. But the docs don't tell you that (at least not at the bottom where they used to).

Am I missing something? Is there a way to still get this info?
