+# Deprecating Ember Array
+
+## Summary
+
+Deprecate `Ember.Array`, `Ember.MutableArray`, `Ember.ArrayProxy`, `Ember.NativeArray`, `Ember.A`,
+`Ember.Enumerable` and Array computed macros.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Now that Ember has a proper tracking system and the availability of `tracked-built-ins` we no longer
+need our own custom arrays. In addition, much of the internal implementation relies upon Mixins which
+we also hope to deprecate in the future.
+
+## Transition Path
+
+All uses of custom Arrays should be replaced with native Arrays and `tracked-built-ins`.
+Additionally, computed macros should be updated to use tracked getters.
+
+Given how estabished these patterns are, we probably want to provide an addon that brings
+back at least some of the functionality to aid migration.
+
+## Exploration
+
+To validate this deprecation, I've tried removing EmberArray in this PR:
+https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/pull/20921
+
+## How We Teach This
+
+We should replace any references in the guides with native arrays or `TrackedArray`.
+
+## Drawbacks
+
+This functionality is old and very well established, removing it will not be without pain
+to many users.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+Deprecate just `Ember.A`: #864
+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+None
+
+## Notes
+
+This overlaps with #1112 which also seeks to deprecate `Ember.ArrayProxy`.
