+        * For the sake of fewer build-time dependencies and less code in the
+          main repository, the python bindings are about to be removed in the
+          next release. A new repository has been created which accommodates
+          the code from now on, and we kindly ask distributions to create a
+          separate package for this. The removal will take place in v223.
