+# Notice
+To better serve Wise business and customer needs, the PipelineWise codebase needs to shrink.
+We have made the difficult decision that, going forward many components of PipelineWise will be removed or incorporated in the main repo.
+The last version before this decision is [v0.64.1](https://github.com/transferwise/pipelinewise/tree/v0.64.1)
+
+We thank all in the open-source community, that over the past 6 years, have helped to make PipelineWise a robust product for heterogeneous replication of many many Terabytes, daily
