+  title: Removing index alias creation for deprecated transforms notification index
+  area: Transform
+  details: >-
+    As part of the migration from 7.x to 8.x, the `.data-frame-notifications-1` index
+    was deprecated and replaced with the `.transform-notifications-000002` index.
+    The index is no longer created by default, all writes are directed to the new index,
+    and any clusters with the deprecated index will have an alias created to ensure that
+    reads are still retrieving data that was written to the index before the migration to 8.x.
+    This change removes the alias from the deprecated index in 9.x. Any clusters with the alias present
+    will retain it, but it will not be created on new clusters.
+  impact: No known end user impact.
