 - `clusterctl upgrade apply` no longer requires a namespace when updating providers. It is now optional and in a future release it will be deprecated. The new syntax is `[namespace/]provider:version`.
 - `WatchDeploymentLogs` is changed to `WatchDeploymentLogsByName`, it works same as before. Another function `WatchDeploymentLogsByLabelSelector` is added to stream logs of deployment by label selector.
 - Cluster API controllers are now using an explicit security context by default.
+- It is recommended to drop usages of `logs.AddFlags(fs, logs.SkipLoggingConfigurationFlags())`. It was previously used to configure deprecated logging flags, but with the bump to component-base
+  `v0.26.0` this function is not configuring any flags anymore.
+  Please note that the following logging flags have been removed: (in `component-base`, but this affects all CAPI controllers): `--add-dir-header`, `--alsologtostderr`, `--log-backtrace-at`,
+  `--log-dir`, `--log-file`, `--log-file-max-size`, `--logtostderr`, `--one-output`, `--skip-headers`, `--skip-log-headers` and `--stderrthreshold`.
