+- The ``-funfolding-keeness-factor`` flag has been deprecated as its scaling
+ strategy resulted in unreasonably large discounts in some cases (see
+ :ghc-ticket:`15304`). Users who previously used this flag to suggest
+ more aggressive inlining are advised to look at
+ :ghc-flag:`-funfolding-use-threshold=⟨n⟩` or use :pragma:`INLINE` pragmas to
+ more precisely force inlining.
