 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
+* network includes: Network structures, definitions and functions will
+  be prefixed by ``rte_`` to resolve conflicts with libc headers.
+  This change will break many DPDK APIs.
+
 * meson: The minimum supported version of meson for configuring and building
   DPDK will be increased to v0.47.1 (from 0.41) from DPDK 19.05 onwards. For
   those users with a version earlier than 0.47.1, an updated copy of meson
-- 
2.11.0
