 Equality delete files identify deleted rows in a collection of data files by 
one or more column values, and may optionally contain additional columns of the 
deleted row.
 
+Equality delete files must not be added to v4 tables and v4 manifests must not 
reference equality delete files. Equality delete files referenced by v2 or v3 
delete manifests must still be applied in a v4 table. Moving entries covered by 
an equality delete to a v4 manifest requires applying the deletes and writing a 
new data file entry.

Review Comment:
   Done, changed to `Equality deletes cannot be added as an entry to a v4 
manifest`. Also updated the matching bullet in Appendix E so the two don't 
drift.
