   Put new features here and also in 'doc/whatsnew/2.13.rst'
 
+* ``using-f-string-in-unsupported-version`` and ``using-final-decorator-in-unsupported-version`` msgids
+    were renamed from ``W1601`` and ``W1602`` to ``W2601`` and ``W2602``. Disabling using these msgids will break.
+    This is done in order to restore consistency with the already existing msgids for ``apply-builtin`` and
+    ``basestring-builtin`` from the now deleted python 3K+ checker. There is now a check that we're not using
+    existing msgids or symbols from deleted checkers.
+
+  Closes #5729
+
 * Add ``--recursive`` option to allow recursive discovery of all modules and packages in subtree. Running pylint with
   ``--recursive=y`` option will check all discovered ``.py`` files and packages found inside subtree of directory provided
   as parameter to pylint.
