In that document, it specifies the cluster count cutoff for determining if something is formatted in FAT12/16/32.
If FAT16 was dropped, I would infer that FAT12 would've been dropped, which means no more floppies at all.
If you read that document, FAT32 is easy to work with, just have to take heed of the differences. The thing that's a real pain is the long filename's that come with it. But if you ignore those and stick with 8.3, FAT32 is a piece of cake.
