-``cryptography`` aims to support multiple backends to ensure it can provide
-the widest number of supported cryptographic algorithms as well as supporting
-platform specific implementations.
+``cryptography`` was originally designed to support multiple backends, but
+this design has been deprecated.
 
 You can get the default backend by calling :func:`~default_backend`.
 
-The default backend will change over time as we implement new backends and
