@@ -160,10 +160,10 @@ This will spawn 4 parallel Pylint sub-process, where each provided module will
 be checked in parallel. Discovered problems by checkers are not displayed
 immediately. They are shown just after checking a module is complete.
 
-There are some limitations in running checks in parallel in the current
-implementation. It is not possible to use custom plugins
-(i.e. ``--load-plugins`` option), nor it is not possible to use
-initialization hooks (i.e. the ``--init-hook`` option).
+There is one known limitation with running checks in parallel as currently
+implemented. Since the division of files into worker processes is indeterminate,
+checkers that depend on comparing multiple files (e.g. ``cyclic-import``
+and ``duplicate-code``) can produce indeterminate results.
