+======================================================
+Breaking: #72661 - RTE Transformation ts_strip removed
+======================================================
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The Rich Text Editor transformation that removes all HTML tags except a hard-coded white-list of allowed
+HTML tags when saving data from the RTE to the database - called ``ts_strip`` - was removed.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Using the command ``ts_strip`` in the list of transformations via PageTSconfig or TCA directly will result in keeping
+the HTML tags inside the database.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+TYPO3 installations that use ``ts_strip`` explicitly in their TSconfig options, or instances with extensions that set this
+option.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+Use TSconfig options like ``RTE.default.removeTags`` to specify which tags should be removed when saving data
+to the database, or even better ``RTE.default.proc.allowTags`` which tags are whitelisted to the database together
+with the default RTE processing command ``ts_css``.
