https://github.com/django/django/pull/19436 , there is no need to have
different build instructions for 4.2.

						... 
						
						
						
						This branch migrates setuptools configuration from setup.py/setup.cfg to
pyproject.toml. In order to ensure that the generated binary files have
consistent casing (both the tarball and the wheel), setuptools version
is limited to ">=61.0.0,<69.3.0".
Configuration for flake8 was moved to a dedicated .flake8 file since
it cannot be configured via pyproject.toml.
Also, __pycache__ exclusion was removed from MANIFEST and the
extras/Makefile was replaced with a simpler build command.

						This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question.
Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed
below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of
knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including
tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the
following words:
- simply/simple
- easy/easier/easiest
- obvious
- just
- merely
- straightforward
- ridiculous
Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and
to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of
thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.
