+Theme changes, deprecations, and warnings
+=========================================
+
+Generally speaking, the best source of information about changes to the theme will be the release changelog.
+We try to avoid raising warnings within theme code, which means sometimes the theme will change (perhaps significantly) without deprecation warnings or other alerts.
+Still, we occasionally do warn about things like (upcoming) changes to the theme's default config values.
+If you prefer *not* to receive such warnings, there is a config value to suppress them:
+
+.. code-block::
+    :caption: conf.py
+
+    html_theme_options = {
+        "surface_warnings": False
+    }
