 Deprecations
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+.. warning::
+
+    In the next major version release, 2.0, several larger API changes are being considered without a formal deprecation such as
+    making the standard library `zoneinfo <https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html>`_ the default timezone implementation instead of ``pytz``,
+    having the :class:`Index` support all data types instead of having multiple subclasses (:class:`CategoricalIndex`, :class:`Int64Index`, etc.), and more.
+    The changes under consideration are logged in `this Github issue <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/44823>`_, and any
+    feedback or concerns are welcome.
