-This is because the compiler currently calculates whether a future is `Send`
-based on scope information only. The compiler will hopefully be updated to
-support explicitly dropping it in the future, but for now, you must explicitly
-use a scope.
 
 Note that the error discussed here is also discussed in the [Send bound section
 from the spawning chapter][send-bound].
