+   **June 2024 Status Update: Removing DataPipes and DataLoader V2**
+
+   We are re-focusing the torchdata repo to be an iterative enhancement of torch.utils.data.DataLoader. We do not plan on
+   continuing development or maintaining the [`DataPipes`] and [`DataLoaderV2`] solutions, and they will be removed from
+   the torchdata repo. We'll also be revisiting the `DataPipes` references in pytorch/pytorch. In release
+   `torchdata==0.8.0` (July 2024) they will be marked as deprecated, and in 0.9.0 (Oct 2024) they will be deleted. Existing
+   users are advised to pin to `torchdata==0.8.0` or an older version until they are able to migrate away. Subsequent
+   releases will not include DataPipes or DataLoaderV2.
+   Please reach out if you suggestions or comments (please use `this issue <https://github.com/pytorch/data/issues/1196>`_ for feedback)
