+  body: |
+    As of November 22, 2022, we have removed support for customers using NFS for Git repository storage. This was
+    originally planned for May 22, 2022, but in an effort to allow continued maturity of Gitaly Cluster, we delayed
+    our removal of support date until now. Please see our official [Statement of Support](https://about.gitlab.com/support/statement-of-support/#gitaly-and-nfs)
+    for further information.
+
+    This change in support follows the development deprecation for NFS for Git repository storage that occurred in GitLab 14.0.
+
+    Gitaly Cluster offers tremendous benefits for our customers such as:
+
+    - [Variable replication factors](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/index.html#replication-factor).
+    - [Strong consistency](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/index.html#strong-consistency).
+    - [Distributed read capabilities](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/index.html#distributed-reads).
+
+    We encourage customers currently using NFS for Git repositories to migrate as soon as possible by reviewing our documentation on
+    [migrating to Gitaly Cluster](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/index.html#migrate-to-gitaly-cluster).
