Reword, to say we have already done this, currently reads "we are planning to..."
So something like so:
With this release of Gluster, the following xlator/features are deprecated and are not available in the distribution specific packages. If any of these xlators or features are in use, refer to instructions on steps needed pre-upgrade to plan for an upgrade to this release"

| ### Stripe volume |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we need some rewording here as and like so in other cases as well:
Stripe xlator, provided the ability to stripe data across bricks. This functionality was used to create and support files larger than a single brick and also to provide better disk utilization across large file IO, by spread the IO blocks across bricks and hence disks.
This functionality is now provided by the shard xlator (any links here wold help, to configure and use shard).
There is no in place upgrade feasible for volumes using the stripe feature, and users are encouraged to migrate their data from existing stripe based volumes to sharded volumes.

| If you are using Tier feature, this is not supported in glusterfs-6.0. |

Here the salient bullets would be:
- Tier no longer supported
- No replacement feature in the release
- Convert tiered volumes to regular volumes by detaching the tier
- Then upgrade
