+      major_changes:
+        - Added plugin_routing redirects in meta/runtime.yml for all 1136 modules and 1052 action plugins from cisco.dnac to cisco.catalystcenter with deprecation warnings targeting removal in version 7.0.0
+        - Added cisco.catalystcenter >= 2.7.0 as a collection dependency in galaxy.yml so that redirects resolve automatically when cisco.dnac is installed
+      deprecated_features:
+        - All modules and action plugins in cisco.dnac now redirect to their cisco.catalystcenter equivalents. Users should migrate playbooks to use cisco.catalystcenter directly. The cisco.dnac collection will be removed in a future major Ansible release.
