+### DELETE requests with bodies are no longer recommended
+
+Some proxies, which are not under client control, prohibit DELETE requests with
+bodies. DELETE requests with bodies could work on a first attempt, but could fail
+afterwards because a server they have no control over was updated. In this case,
+client users could be in trouble if they were not notified.
+
+Therefore, we have decided to no longer recommend sending DELETE requests with
+bodies. They will continue to work in this release but should be considered as
+deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
