 * `only` and `except` are inclusive. If both `only` and `except` are defined
    in a job specification, the ref is filtered by `only` and `except`.
 * `only` and `except` allow the use of regular expressions.
-* `only` and `except` allow the use of special keywords:
-`api`, `branches`, `external`, `tags`, `pushes`, `schedules`, `triggers`, and `web`
 * `only` and `except` allow to specify a repository path to filter jobs for
