  * dropped at a future version bump. The defines themselves are not part of
  * the public API and may change, break or disappear at any time.
  *
+ * @note, when bumping the major version it is recommandeded to manually
+ * disable each FF_API_* in its own commit instead of disabling them all
+ * at once through the bump. This improves the git bissect-ability of the change.
