 ## Already consuming the XARF v3 schema?
 
-The v3 schema is **preserved** and will keep resolving, but you should **repoint your references** to the stable, domain-based URLs so you are not depending on this archived repository:
+**Nothing breaks.** The v3 schema remains available at its existing locations:
 
-| If you currently fetch… | Switch to… |
-|---|---|
-| `https://github.com/abusix/xarf/releases/download/.../xarf_bundled.schema.json` | `https://xarf.org/schemas/v3/xarf-v3-legacy.json` |
-| `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xarf/schema-discussion/master/xarf.schema.json` (the legacy `$id`) | `https://xarf.org/schemas/v3/xarf-v3-legacy.json` |
+- This repository's **release assets** (e.g. `xarf_bundled.schema.json`) continue to resolve.
+- The legacy `$id` URL (`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xarf/schema-discussion/master/xarf.schema.json`) continues to resolve.
 
-The existing release assets and URLs will remain available for the foreseeable future, but **no new v3 releases will be published** and the repository is read-only (archived).
+However, **no new v3 releases will be published** and this repository is now read-only (archived). The long-term canonical home for all XARF schemas is **[xarf.org](https://xarf.org)**; new integrations should adopt **XARF v4** via the [spec repo](https://github.com/xarf/xarf-spec).
