-### Fastboot
-
-When working with other addons that use `ember-cli-head`, you'll need to create a custom `head.hbs` file that exposes the `<title>` tag properly:
-
-```hbs
-<title>{{model.title}}</title>
-```
-
-This file is added automatically if you use `ember install`. This is for all the folks using ember-cli-head addons like ember-cli-meta-tags.
-
 ### Deprecations
 
 - Since **v5.2.2**: The `{{title}}` helper has been deprecated, use `{{page-title}}` instead, it has the same API. The
   `{{title}}` helper was an AST transform and will be removed in the next major release.
 
+### Upgrading notes for 5.x to 6.x
+
+From 6.x onward, you don't need to have `{{head-layout}}` within your application's `application.hbs` template. If you have `ember-cli-head` as direct dependency on your project, but not used for anything else you can also remove it.
+
 ### Upgrading notes for 3.x to 4.x
 
 From 4.x onward, you need to have `{{head-layout}}` within your application's `application.hbs` template. Without this, you will not see a page title appear.
