+## Yarn v1 Classic bundling
+
+[Yarn v1 Classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/) is currently bundled in `node` image
+variants. Because Yarn v1 is [frozen](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn) and no longer maintained,
+bundling plans have been revised.
+
+As of Node.js 26.0.0 it is planned to no longer bundle Yarn v1 into `node` images.
+For lower versions of Node.js (<26) `node` images will continue to bundle Yarn v1.
+
+Users with legacy requirements for Yarn v1 under Node.js 26 and above may be able
+to follow [Yarn v1 installation instructions](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
+and install using `npm install --global yarn`.
