+    The ``DeprecationWarning`` that was raised when pandas was imported without PyArrow being
+    installed has been removed. This decision was made because the warning was too noisy for too
+    many users and a lot of feedback was collected about the decision to make PyArrow a required
+    dependency. Pandas is currently considering the decision whether or not PyArrow should be added
+    as a hard dependency in 3.0. Interested users can follow the discussion
+    `here <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/57073>`_.
+
 - Added the argument ``skipna`` to :meth:`DataFrameGroupBy.first`, :meth:`DataFrameGroupBy.last`, :meth:`SeriesGroupBy.first`, and :meth:`SeriesGroupBy.last`; achieving ``skipna=False`` used to be available via :meth:`DataFrameGroupBy.nth`, but the behavior was changed in pandas 2.0.0 (:issue:`57019`)
 - Added the argument ``skipna`` to :meth:`Resampler.first`, :meth:`Resampler.last` (:issue:`57019`)
