+      <p>
+        The old previously documented support for opening a port to an
+        external resource by passing an atom (or a string) as first
+        argument to
+        <seemfa marker="erts:erlang#open_port/2"><c>open_port()</c></seemfa>,
+        implemented by the vanilla driver, will be removed in OTP 27.
+        This functionality was marked as obsolete about two decades ago
+        and then a few years later the documentation for it was removed.
+        If this functionality is not used with care it might hang or crash
+        the runtime system.
