+## Obsolescence Notice
+
+This document is obsolete and there is no longer a requirement for drivers to test against Atlas Serverless. The
+specification is preserved for historical purposes only.

 ## Introduction
 
 This file describes a subset of existing tests that drivers MUST use to assert compatibility with Atlas Serverless.
