First thing is to enable "distrodata" by inheriting the class.  Do we have an equivalent for this now that the class is gone?

This is no longer necessary, you can remove the step.

There is no equivalent, you can remove the sectrion.

The equivalent functionality is provided by running devtool - 'devtool
latest-version' for one recipe, 'devtool check-upgrade-status' for
several (or all).

All three should refer to the equivalent replacement (see above)
provided by devtool.
