+============================================================
+Breaking: #96988 - Global Option "allowLocalInstall" removed
+============================================================
+
+See :issue:`96988`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+In previous TYPO3 version it was possible to disable the functionality to
+install extensions from :file:`typo3conf/ext/`.
+
+This was done by setting the global option
+:php:`$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['allowLocalInstall']` to false.
+
+The usefulness of this functionality was only a side-effect and has lost it even
+more after the rise of the Composer Mode for TYPO3 Core.
+
+In addition, this option is only useful in the Extension Manager which is now
+protected with access for only "System Maintainers", only giving special users
+the power to modify the extension installation process, making TYPO3 more
+flexible than 15 years ago.
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Toggling the option (which was enabled by default) has no effect anymore. It is
+now always possible to install an extension available in :file:`typo3conf/ext/`
+for system maintainers with the Extension Manager module for Non-Composer Mode
+TYPO3 installations.
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+TYPO3 Installations in Non-Composer Mode having this option turned off, which
+is very rare.
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+It is recommended to set proper access rights and only give users
+"System Maintainer" access which should modify the list of active extensions.
