+CMP0120
+-------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.20
+
+The :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module is removed.
+
+CMake versions 3.1 through 3.19 provide this module to generate a
+C++ compatibility layer by re-using information from CMake's table of
+preprocessor checks for :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)`. However:
+
+* Those granular features have been superseded by meta-features for
+ :ref:`Requiring Language Standards` such as ``cxx_std_11``. Therefore
+ no new granular feature checks will be added and projects will need to
+ use other means to conditionally use new C++ features.
+
+* The module exposes some of CMake's implementation details directly
+ to C++ translation units.
+
+* The module's approach effectively provides a header file with CMake,
+ thus tying the version of the header to the version of CMake.
+ Many projects found that the :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` was
+ best used by manually generating its header locally with a recent version
+ of CMake and then bundling it with the project source so that it could
+ be used with older CMake versions.
+
+For reasons including the above, CMake 3.20 and above prefer to not
+provide the :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module. This policy
+provides compatibility for projects that have not been ported away from
+it. Projects using the module should be updated to stop using it.
+Alternatives include:
+
+* Bundle a copy of the generated header in the project's source.
+* Use a third-party alternative, such as the CC0-licensed `Hedley`_.
+* Drop support for compilers too old to provide the features natively.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is for inclusion of the deprecated
+:module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module to work. The ``NEW``
+behavior is for inclusion of the module to fail as if it does not exist.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.20. CMake version |release|
+warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
