+libbitcoinconsensus
+========================
+
+This library is deprecated and will be removed for v28.
+
+It has existed for nearly 10 years with very little known uptake or impact. It
+has become a maintenance burden.
+
+The underlying functionality does not change between versions, so any users of
+the library can continue to use the final release indefinitely, with the
+understanding that Taproot is its final consensus update.
+
+In the future, libbitcoinkernel will provide a much more useful API that is
+aware of the UTXO set, and therefore be able to fully validate transactions and
+blocks.
