+        <p>
+          The following Equinox bundles are deprecated for removal.
+        </p>
+          <ul>
+            <li>
+              <code>org.eclipse.osgi.services</code><br/>
+              Its content has been replaced by the official OSGi bundles published to Maven-Central and it only reexports these <code>org.osgi.service.*</code> bundles.
+              Consumers are encouraged to replace their requirements on the bundle <code>org.eclipse.osgi.services</code> by imports of the used <code>org.osgi.service.*</code> packages already now.
+              This allows the OSGi runtime to choose any suitable provider of the package that is available. 
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              <code>org.eclipse.equinox.device</code><br/>
+              This implementation of the <code>org.osgi.service.device</code> is not known to be used anywhere and did not receive updates in the past.
+              It is deprecated for removal from future releases without replacement.
+              In case there are users, they can continue to use past releases, use an alternative implementation or get in contact with the Equinox team.
