+### Mounts associated with removed builtin plugins will result in core shutdown on upgrade
+
+As of 1.13.0 Standalone (logical) DB Engines and the AppId Auth Method have been
+marked with the `Removed` status. Any attempt to unseal Vault with
+mounts backed by one of these builtin plugins will result in an immediate
+shutdown of the Vault core.
+
+-> **NOTE** In the event that an external plugin with the same name and type as
+a deprecated builtin is deregistered, any subsequent unseal will continue to
+unseal with an unusable auth backend, and a corresponding ERROR log.

+The remediation for affected mounts is to downgrade to the previously-used version of Vault
+environment variable and replace any `Removed` feature with the
+[preferred alternative
+feature](/vault/docs/deprecation/faq#q-what-should-i-do-if-i-use-mount-filters-appid-or-any-of-the-standalone-db-engines).
