+#### Deprecation of undefined environment variable warnings {#strict-env-vars}
+
+Vector has the ability to [interpolate environment variables into its
+configuration](/docs/reference/configuration/#environment-variables) as a means of templating
+configuration. Currently, if an environment variable is undefined (unless the `?` interpolation
+syntax is used) Vector outputs a warning and replaces the environment variable with an empty string.
+In a future release , this will change from a warning to a hard error. This behavior can be opted
+into earlier by using the `--strict-env-vars` flag (or `VECTOR_STRICT_ENV_VARS` environment
+variable) when running Vector.
+
+The reasoning for this change is that users often miss the undefined variable warning and are
+confused by Vector not behaving as the expected. In particular, this happens when using `$1` in
+regex capture groups in VRL without realizing they need to be escaped as `$$1` to avoid
+interpolation.
+
 ### Potentially impactful changes
 
 #### HTTP server-based sources now include a `keepalive.max_connection_age_secs` config option that defaults to 5 minutes {#http-keepalive-max-connection-age}
