+=head1 WARNING
+
+This code is not maintained, and is disrecommended for use in new applications.
+
+Instead, it is recommended to use newer, better supported modules such as:
+
+=over
+
+=item L<Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu>
+
+=item L<Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder>
+
+=back
+
+Note that not only is this plugin disrecommended (as it takes over the global
+C<< $c->form >> method, rather than being applyable in only part of your
+application), but L<Data::FormValidator> itself is not recommended for use.
+
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 This plugin uses L<Data::FormValidator> to validate and set up form data
