Public bug reported:

This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following
as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into
[x] to check boxes:

- [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way: In the "Image handling"
section, the first "Note" says you can use the legacy property
'vmware_linked_clone' to control whether a VM is booted as a linked
clone or not, but it looks like the code only checks the
'img_linked_clone' property [0].

Fix is probably to remove the reference to the legacy property.
