+title: Propagate deprecation information from `impl_runtime_apis!` blocks
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Runtime User, Runtime Dev
+    description: |
+      Prior to this PR, the metadata for runtime APIs would not propagate deprecation information
+      from `#[deprecated]` attributes inside `impl_runtime_apis!` blocks. Now such information will be 
+      propagated into the metadata and will override deprecation information from `decl_runtime_apis!` if 
+      it was present.
