 ### Envoy and Consul Dataplane
 
-Consul Dataplane is a feature introduced in Consul v1.14. Because each version of Consul Dataplane supports one specific version of Envoy, you must use the following versions of Consul, Consul Dataplane, and Envoy together.
+The Consul dataplane component was introduced in Consul v1.14 as a way to manage Envoy proxies without the use of Consul clients. Each new minor version of Consul is released with a new minor version of Consul dataplane, which packages both Envoy and the `consul-dataplane` binary in a single container image. For backwards compatability reasons, each new minor version of Consul will also support the previous minor version of Consul dataplane to allow for seamless upgrades. In addition, each minor version of Consul will support the next minor version of Consul dataplane to allow for extended dataplane support via newer versions of Envoy.
