 The CoreDNS team has released
 [CoreDNS-1.7.1](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.7.1).
 
-This is a small, incremental release that adds some polish.
-
-Note that the next (or at least soon), we will
-
-* merge caddy v1 into the coredns org. This requires a import renaming for all plugins: ` sed -i
- 's|github.com/caddyserver/caddy|github.com/coredns/caddy|'`, i.e. "github.com/caddyserver/caddy"
-  needs to be renamed to "github.com/coredns/caddy".
-* merge the new transfer plugin and move plugins over to that; if you don't use the *file* plugin,
-  nor zonetransfer this doesn't apply to you.
+This is a small, incremental release that adds some polish and fixes a bunch of bugs.
