 * Adjusted various lint messages for consistency in readability (#1330, @MichaelChirico). In general, we favor lint messages to be phrased like "Action, reason" to but the "what" piece of the message front-and-center. This may be a breaking change for code that tests the specific phrasing of lints.
 * `extraction_operator_linter()` is deprecated. Although switching from `$` to `[[` has some robustness benefits for package code, it can lead to non-idiomatic code in many contexts (e.g. R6 classes, Shiny applications, etc.) (#2409, @IndrajeetPatil). To enable the detection of the `$` operator for extraction through partial matching, use `options(warnPartialMatchDollar = TRUE)`.
 * `unnecessary_nested_if_linter()` is deprecated and subsumed into the new/more general `unnecessary_nesting_linter()`.
+* Drop support for posting GitHub comments from inside Travis, Wercker, and Jenkins CI tools (spurred by #2148, @MichaelChirico). We rely on GitHub Actions for linting in CI, and don't see any active users relying on these alternatives. We welcome and encourage community contributions to get support for different CI system going again.

 If your project is in a subdirectory and you would like to use GitHub Actions annotations, you can set
 `options(lintr.github_annotation_project_dir = "path/to/project")` which will make sure that the annotations point to the correct paths.
 
-### Travis CI
-
-If you want to run `lintr` on [Travis-CI](https://www.travis-ci.com/), you will need to have Travis install the package first.
-This can be done by adding the following line to your `.travis.yml`
-
-``` yaml
-r_github_packages:
-  - r-lib/lintr
-```
-
-We recommend running `lintr::lint_package()` as an after_success step in your build process:
-
-``` yaml
-after_success:
-  - R CMD INSTALL $PKG_TARBALL
-  - Rscript -e 'lintr::lint_package()'
-```
-
-If lints are found in the commit or pull request they will be printed on Travis-CI.
-The environment variable `LINTR_ERROR_ON_LINT` mentioned for GitHub actions also works with Travis CI builds.
-
 ## For projects
 
 You are not limited to using `lintr` for packages -- you can use it in combination with continuous integration for any other project.
