+    Deployers that used ``resource_registry`` override in their environment
+    to add networks to roles without also using a custom roles data file must
+    create a custom roles data file and add the additional network(s) and use
+    this when upgrading.
+
+    Previously it was possible to add additional networks to a role without
+    using a custom role by overriding the resource registry, for example::
+
+      OS::TripleO::Compute::Ports::ExternalPort: ../network/ports/external.yaml
+
+    .. Warning:: Since resources are no longer added to the plan unless the
+                 network is specified in the role, the ``resource_registry``
+                 override alone is no longer sufficient.

+    Networks not specified for roles in roles data (``roles_data.yaml``) no
+    longer have Heat resources created. It is now mandatory that custom roles
+    are used when non-default networks is used for a role.

+              ``resource_registry`` override.
