+The next official Spark release is Spark 3.1.1 instead of Spark 3.1.0.
+There was an accident during Spark 3.1.0 RC1 preparation,
+see [[VOTE] Release Spark 3.1.0 (RC1)](http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/VOTE-Release-Spark-3-1-0-RC1-td30524.html) in the Spark dev mailing list.
+
+In short, Spark 3.1.0 RC1 was [unexpectedly published into Maven as Spark 3.1.0](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/spark/spark-core_2.12/3.1.0/)
+while it is not officially released to Apache mirrors. We plan to skip this release
+and choose 3.1.1 as the next release to prevent the potential problems to the end
+users.
+
+Therefore, Spark 3.1.1 will supersede the unofficial Spark 3.1.0 unexpectedly
+published to Maven. We discourage to use this Spark 3.1.0 for any purpose, and there
+are no guarantees on using it such as binary compatibility.

Review comment:
       nit: since it seems the last statement is important for users, how about making it bold?
