 ## Upgrading guide for extension developers
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> Please switch to PHPStan 2.0 in a new major version of your extension. It's not feasible to try to support both PHPStan 1.x and PHPStan 2.x with the same extension code.
+> You can definitely get closer to supporting PHPStan 2.0 without increasing major version by solving reported deprecations and other issues by analysing your extension code with PHPStan & phpstan-deprecation-rules & Bleeding Edge, but the final leap and solving backward incompatibilities should be done by requiring `"phpstan/phpstan": "^2.0"` in your `composer.json`, and releasing a new major version.

 ### PHPStan now uses nikic/php-parser v5
 
 See [UPGRADING](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser/blob/master/UPGRADE-5.0.md) guide for PHP-Parser.
