+
+        <para>
+            The naming scheme for kernel output binaries has been changed to
+            now include
+            <link linkend='var-PE'><filename>PE</filename></link> as part of the
+            filename:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PE}-${PV}-${PR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}"
+            </literallayout>
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            Because the <filename>PE</filename> variable is not set by default,
+            these binary files could result with names that include two dash
+            characters.
+            Here is an example:
+            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     bzImage--3.10.9+git0+cd502a8814_7144bcc4b8-r0-qemux86-64-20130830085431.bin
