 For backward compatibility, Cobra still supports its legacy dynamic completion solution (described below).  Unlike the `ValidArgsFunction` solution, the legacy solution will only work for Bash shell-completion and not for other shells. This legacy solution can be used along-side `ValidArgsFunction` and `RegisterFlagCompletionFunc()`, as long as both solutions are not used for the same command.  This provides a path to gradually migrate from the legacy solution to the new solution.
 
+**Note**: Cobra's default `completion` command uses bash completion V2.  If you are currently using Cobra's legacy dynamic completion solution, you should not use the default `completion` command but continue using your own.
+
 The legacy solution allows you to inject bash functions into the bash completion script.  Those bash functions are responsible for providing the completion choices for your own completions.

 ## Zsh completions
 
 Cobra supports native zsh completion generated from the root `cobra.Command`.
