+Rename fist arg to subplot_mosaic
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Both `.FigureBase.subplot_mosaic`, and `.pyplot.subplot_mosaic` have had the
+first position argument renamed from *layout* to *mosaic*.  This is because we
+are considering to consolidate *constrained_layout* and *tight_layout* keyword
+arguments in the Figure creation functions of `.pyplot` into a single *layout*
+keyword argument which would collide.
+
+As this API is provisional, we are changing this with no deprecation period.
