   The new port library API (functions rte_swx_port_*)
   will gradually transition from experimental to stable status
   starting with DPDK 23.07 release.
+
+* eventdev: The single-event (non-burst) enqueue and dequeue
+  operations, used by static inline burst enqueue and dequeue
+  functions in <rte_eventdev.h>, will be removed in DPDK 23.11. This
+  simplification includes changing the layout and potentially also the
+  size of the public rte_event_fp_ops struct, breaking the ABI. Since
+  these functions are not called directly by the application, the API
+  remains unaffected.
