 Please switch to one of the other mapping drivers. Native attributes which PHP
 supports since version 8.0 are probably your best option.
 
+As a consequence, the following methods are deprecated:
+- `ORMSetup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration`
+- `ORMSetup::createDefaultAnnotationDriver`
+
 ## Deprecated `Doctrine\ORM\Proxy\Proxy` interface.
 
 Use `Doctrine\Persistence\Proxy` instead to check whether proxies are initialized.
