* Reduce usage of blacklist/whitelist terminology. Notably, ``extension-pkg-allow-list`` is an
alternative to ``extension-pkg-whitelist`` and the message ``blacklisted-name`` is now emitted as
``disallowed-name``. The previous names are accepted to maintain backward compatibility.
+
+* The packaging is now done via setuptools exclusively. ``doc``, ``tests``, ``man``, ``elisp`` and ``Changelog`` are
+ not packaged anymore - reducing the size of the package by 75%.
+
+* The 'doc' extra-require has been removed. ``pylint.version`` is now ``pylint.__version__`` and ``__pkginfo__`` does
+ not contain the package metadata anymore.
