+`rcount` and `ccount` for `plot_surface()`
+------------------------------------------
+
+As of v2.0, mplot3d's :func:`~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.plot_surface` now
+accepts `rcount` and `ccount` arguments for controlling the sampling of the
+input data for plotting. These arguments specify the maximum number of
+evenly spaced samples to take from the input data. These arguments are
+also the new default sampling method for the function, and is
+considered a style change.
+
+The old `rstride` and `cstride` arguments, which specified the size of the
+evenly spaced samples, become the default when 'classic' mode is invoked,
+and are still available for use. There are no plans for deprecating these
+arguments.
