+## DataFusion API Evolution and Deprecation Guidelines
 
-Public methods in Apache DataFusion are subject to evolve as part of the API lifecycle.
-Deprecated methods will be phased out in accordance with the [policy](https://datafusion.apache.org/library-user-guide/api-health.html), ensuring the API is stable and healthy.
+Public methods in Apache DataFusion evolve over time: while we try to maintain a
+stable API, we also improve the API over time. As a result, we typically
+deprecate methods before removing them, according to the [deprecation guidelines].
