+Breaking: #85398 - Drop documentation extension
+===============================================
+
+See :issue:`85398`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Fetching and rendering extension and core manuals directly within
+the backend using the documentation extension has been dropped
+from the TYPO3 backend.
+
+The module never found broad acceptance and usage in the community,
+had various hard to resolve flaws and has been a maintenance burden
+for the documentation team ever since.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+The Documentation module does not exist anymore and cannot be used
+to display manuals in the TYPO3 backend.
+
+The previously required extension "documentation" is not available anymore.
+
+New installations do not have the `documentation` extension installed by default.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+Every TYPO3 instance.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+Current documentation of core functionality, core extensions and
+community extensions can always be found on docs_ directly.
+
+Flush all TYPO3 Core Caches to ensure that :php:`PackageStates.php` is rebuilt
+without the documentation extension.
+
+For composer installations, ensure that the dependency to `typo3/cms-documentation` is removed.
+
+Extensions authors need to ensure that dependencies to `EXT:documentation` are removed, if
+they existed before.
