we'll want to summarize them for the announcement anyway, we may as
well commit those summaries for posterity.

+deprecations:
+  - |
+    Not really a deprecation so much as a removal, Gerrit 2.15 (released in
+    2017) ceased providing a draft state for changes, and many large sites were
+    disabling support for it far earlier than that. As of now, git-review has
+    removed the ``-D`` and ``--draft`` options entirely, and so can no longer
+    push draft changes on old Gerrit deployments which still allowed them.

+critical:
+  - |
+    As of this release, git-review no longer supports running under the Python
+    2.7 interpreter. The major version component has been increased
+    accordingly. Users wishing to use git-review with Python 2.7 can cap their
+    installations like ``pip install "git-review<2"``, though pip version 9 and
+    later will use python_requires package metadata to avoid installing
+    git-review on an unsupported interpreter. Future removal of support for
+    Python 3 minor versions will only result in a minor version increase for
+    corresponding git-review releases.
