 #### Improvements
 
-- Hybrid execution mode is now enabled by default. Certain operations on smaller data will now automatically execute in native pandas in-memory. Use `from modin.config import AutoSwitchBackend; AutoSwitchBackend.disable()` to turn this off and force all execution to occur in Snowflake.
 - Downgraded to level `logging.DEBUG - 1` the log message saying that the
   Snowpark `DataFrame` reference of an internal `DataFrameReference` object
   has changed.
