+:Type: Kickstart / GUI
+:Summary: Remove support for NVDIMM namespaces
+
+:Description:
+    All additional support for NVDIMM is being deprecated and removed, especially the support
+    for the namespace reconfiguration. However, namespaces configured in the block/storage mode
+    can be still used for the installation.
+
+    The ``nvdimm`` kickstart command is deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
