Description:
Documentation in https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/8.0.0/page_protocol_basic_eof_packet.html seems incorrect.
It states:

Due to changes in MySQL 5.7 in the OK_Packet packets (such as session state tracking), and to avoid repeating the changes in the EOF_Packet packet, the OK_Packet is deprecated as of MySQL 5.7.5.

According to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/8.0.0/page_protocol_basic_ok_packet.html , instead:

As of MySQL 5.7.5, OK packes are also used to indicate EOF, and EOF packets are deprecated.

How to repeat:
Read page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/8.0.0/page_protocol_basic_eof_packet.html

Suggested fix:
Page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/8.0.0/page_protocol_basic_eof_packet.html should state:

Due to changes in MySQL 5.7 in the OK_Packet packets (such as session state tracking), and to avoid repeating the changes in the EOF_Packet packet, the EOF_Packet is deprecated as of MySQL 5.7.5.
