-Users are encouraged to declare resources in their own namespaces instead of putting them in the special `Chef::Resource` namespace.
+Authors of HWRPs need to be aware that in the future all resources and providers will be required to include a provides line. Starting with Chef 12.4.0 any HWRPs in the `Chef::Resource` or `Chef::Provider` namespaces that do not have provides lines will trigger deprecation warning messages when called. The LWRPBase code does `provides` automatically so LWRP authors and users who write classes that inherit from LWRPBase do not need to explicitly include provides lines.
 
-The `Chef::Resource` namespace will no longer get automatic DSL in a future Chef, and will emit a deprecation warning in Chef 12.

-Additionally, resources declared as LWRPs are no longer placed in the
-`Chef::Resource` namespace.  This means that if your cookbook includes the LWRP
-`mycookbook/resources/myresource.rb`, you will no longer be able to extend or
-reference `Chef::Resource::MycookbookMyresource` in Ruby code.  LWRP recipe DSL
-does not change: the LWRP will still be available to recipes as
-`mycookbook_myresource`.
+Starting with Chef 12.4.0, accessing an LWRP class by name from the `Chef::Resource` namespace will trigger a deprecation warning message. This means that if your cookbook includes the LWRP `mycookbook/resources/myresource.rb`, you will no longer be able to extend or reference `Chef::Resource::MycookbookMyresource` in Ruby code.  LWRP recipe DSL does not change: the LWRP will still be available to recipes as `mycookbook_myresource`.
 
 You can still get the LWRP class by calling `Chef::Resource.resource_matching_short_name(:mycookbook_myresource)`.
