-## Binary compatibility (MiMa)
-
-Binary compatibility rules and guarantees are described in depth in the [Binary Compatibility Rules
-](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/common/binary-compatibility-rules.html) section of the Akka documentation.
-
-Akka projects use [MiMa](https://github.com/lightbend/mima) to validate binary compatibility of incoming pull requests. If your PR fails due to binary compatibility issues, you may see an error like this:
-
-```
-[info] akka-stream: found 1 potential binary incompatibilities while checking against com.typesafe.akka:akka-stream_2.12:2.4.2  (filtered 222)
-[error]  * method foldAsync(java.lang.Object,scala.Function2)akka.stream.scaladsl.FlowOps in trait akka.stream.scaladsl.FlowOps is present only in current version
-[error]    filter with: ProblemFilters.exclude[ReversedMissingMethodProblem]("akka.stream.scaladsl.FlowOps.foldAsync")
-```
-
-In such situations, it's good to consult with a core team member about whether the violation can be safely ignored or if it would indeed
-break binary compatibility. If the violation can be ignored add exclude statements from the MiMa output to
-a new file named `<module>/src/main/mima-filters/<last-version>.backwards.excludes/<pr-or-issue>-<issue-number>-<description>.excludes`,
-e.g. `s3/src/main/mima-filters/1.1.x.backwards.excludes/pr-12345-rename-internal-classes.excludes`. Make sure to add a comment
-in the file that describes briefly why the incompatibility can be ignored.
-
-Situations when it may be fine to ignore a MiMa issued warning include:
-
-- if it is touching any class marked as `private[alpakka]`, `@InternalApi`, `/** INTERNAL API*/` or similar markers
-- if it is concerning internal classes (often recognisable by package names like `impl`, `internal` etc.)
-- if it is adding API to classes / traits which are only meant for extension by Akka itself, i.e. should not be extended by end-users (often marked as `@DoNotInherit` or `sealed`)
-- other tricky situations
-
-The binary compatibility of the current changes can be checked by running `sbt +mimaReportBinaryIssues`.
