It collects both Chicken 4 and Chicken 5 versions of the information on 
the same page, which is its main point.

The page is geared toward egg authors and maintainers, not for people 
who just want to use an egg. That's why there's so much detail, and is 
probably the main cause of confusion.

Sure. FWIW, some C4-only eggs have been ported to C5 upon request.

This would be useful to indicate somehow.
