-The `go/v2` plugin has the purpose to scaffold Golang projects to help users to build projects with [controllers][controller-runtime] and keep the backwards compatibility with the default scaffold made using Kubebuilder CLI `2.x.z` releases.   
+<aside class="note warning">
+<h1>Deprecated</h1>
+
+The `go/v2` plugin cannot scaffold solutions which uses CRD and/or Webhooks with the v1 version and properly
+work with the plugins ecosystem introduced with Kubebuilder `3.0.0`[More info](plugins.md). Note that `v1beta1` was deprecated on Kubernetes `1.16` and no longer is offered since its release `1.22`.
+Therefore, this plugin was kept to ensure the backwords compability with old Kubebuilder versions
+scaffolds produced with `"Kubebuilder 2.x"` layout. 
+
+Since `28 Apr 2021`, the default layout produced by Kubebuilder changed and is done via the `go/v3`. 
+We encourage you migrate your project to the latest version if your project was built with a Kubebuilder
+versions < `3.0.0`. 
 
-<node>
+The recommended way to migrate a `v2` project is to create a new `v3` project and copy over the API 
+and the reconciliation code. The conversion will end up with a project that looks like a native `v3` project.
+For further information check the [Migration guide](./../migration/manually_migration_guide_v2_v3.md)

 You can check samples using this plugin by looking at the `project-v2-<options>` directories under the [testdata][testdata] projects on the root directory of the Kubebuilder project.
