+* [REMOVAL] Remove build option `WITH_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY`
+  [#2717](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2717)
+
+  * As announced in opentelemetry-cpp previous release 1.16.0,
+    CMake option `WITH_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY` was temporary,
+    and to be removed by the next release.
+  * This option is now removed.

+
+    * [API/SDK] Provider cleanup
+      [#2664](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2664)
+
+    * Before this fix:
+      * SDK factory methods such as:
+        * opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProviderFactory::Create()
+        * opentelemetry::sdk::metrics::MeterProviderFactory::Create()
+        * opentelemetry::sdk::logs::LoggerProviderFactory::Create()
+        * opentelemetry::sdk::logs::EventLoggerProviderFactory::Create()
+
+        returned an API object (opentelemetry::trace::TracerProvider)
+          to the caller.
+
+    * After this fix, these methods return an SDK level object
+      (opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProvider) to the caller.
+    * Returning an SDK object is necessary for the application to
+      cleanup and invoke SDK level methods, such as ForceFlush(),
+      on a provider.
+    * The application code that configures the SDK, by calling
+      the various provider factories, may need adjustment.
+    * All the examples have been updated, and in particular no
+      longer perform static_cast do convert an API object to an SDK object.
+      Please refer to examples for guidance on how to adjust.

 ## [opentelemetry-cpp SDK]
 
-### SDK ProviderFactory cleanup
-
-#### Announcement (SDK ProviderFactory cleanup)
-
-* Version: 1.15.0
-* Date: 2024-06-03
-* PR: [API/SDK] Provider cleanup
-  [#2664](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/pull/2664)
-
-This PR introduces changes to SDK ProviderFactory methods.
-
-#### Motivation (SDK ProviderFactory cleanup)
-
-SDK Factory methods for signal providers, such as:
-
-* opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProviderFactory
-* opentelemetry::sdk::metrics::MeterProviderFactory
-* opentelemetry::sdk::logs::LoggerProviderFactory
-* opentelemetry::sdk::logs::EventLoggerProviderFactory
-
-currently returns a unique pointer on a API class.
-
-This is incorrect, the proper return type should be
-a unique pointer on a SDK class instead.
-
-#### Scope (SDK ProviderFactory cleanup)
-
-All the current Create methods in:
-
-* class opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProviderFactory
-* class opentelemetry::sdk::metrics::MeterProviderFactory
-* class opentelemetry::sdk::logs::LoggerProviderFactory
-* class opentelemetry::sdk::logs::EventLoggerProviderFactory
-
-are marked as deprecated, as they return an API object.
-
-Instead, another set of Create methods is provided,
-with a different return type, an SDK object.
-
-Both sets can not be exposed at the same time,
-as this would cause build breaks,
-so a compilation flag is defined to select which methods to use.
-
-When OPENTELEMETRY_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY is defined,
-the old, deprecated, methods are available.
-
-When OPENTELEMETRY_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY is not defined,
-the new methods are available.
-
-The scope of this deprecation and removal,
-is to remove the flag OPENTELEMETRY_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY itself,
-which implies that only the new set of Create() methods,
-returning an SDK object, are supported.
-
-#### Mitigation (SDK ProviderFactory cleanup)
-
-Build without defining flag OPENTELEMETRY_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY.
-
-Existing code, such as:
-
-```cpp
-  std::shared_ptr<opentelemetry::trace::TracerProvider> tracer_provider;
-  tracer_provider = opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProviderFactory::Create(...);
-```
-
-should be adjusted to:
-
-```cpp
-  std::shared_ptr<opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProvider> tracer_provider;
-  tracer_provider = opentelemetry::sdk::trace::TracerProviderFactory::Create(...);
-```
-
-#### Planned removal (SDK ProviderFactory cleanup)
-
-Flag OPENTELEMETRY_DEPRECATED_SDK_FACTORY is introduced in release 1.16.0,
-to provide a migration path.
-
-This flag is meant to be temporary, and short lived.
-Expect removal by release 1.17.0
