This must be one of those "What's different" tests...for the life of me, I don't see what's different in the "Not Recommended" pictures. Anybody?
The drawings are the same, but the angles marked are not.

They're probably talking about the difference in shape of Shimano shifters.
New:
Old:
The new shifter shape is available for 105 and above, so ten speed only. For Tiagra and below the old shape is still used, and those shifters come in eight and nine speeds.
