-## PARTIAL DQL syntax is undeprecated for non-object hydration
+## PARTIAL DQL syntax is undeprecated 
 
-Use of the PARTIAL keyword is not deprecated anymore in DQL when used with a hydrator
-that is not creating entities, such as the ArrayHydrator.
+Use of the PARTIAL keyword is not deprecated anymore in DQL, because we will be
+able to support PARTIAL objects with PHP 8.4 Lazy Objects and
+Symfony/VarExporter in a better way. When we decided to remove this feature
+these two abstractions did not exist yet.
+
+WARNING: If you want to upgrade to 3.x and still use PARTIAL keyword in DQL
+with array or object hydrators, then you have to directly migrate to ORM 3.3.x or higher.
+PARTIAL keyword in DQL is not available in 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 of ORM.
