+    comment: >
+      This integration uses repair-issues when entities are set up through YAML.
+      To avoid user panic, discovery deprecation issues are logged only.
+      It is the responsibility of the maintainer or the service or device to
+      correct the discovery messages. Extra options are allowed
+      in MQTT messages to avoid breaking issues.
