 =================================================
 * BG/Q support, including QPX, will be removed in the 12.0.0 release.

 =================================================

-   For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
-   this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
-   point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
-   functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
-   for adding a new subsection.

-* The LLVM project has started the migration towards Python 3, and the build
-  system now prefers Python 3 whenever available.  If the Python 3 interpreter
-  (or libraries) are not found, the build system will, for the time being, fall
-  back to Python 2.  It is recommended that downstream projects migrate to
-  Python 3 as Python 2 has been end-of-life'd by the Python Software
-  Foundation.
 
 * The llgo frontend has been removed for now, but may be resurrected in the
   future.
