@pablo19sc Thanks for the contribution.
Removal of deprecated attributes can only occur at a major version as it is a breaking change.
Could you please split into 2 PRs, one with the documentation updates (minus the attribute removals) and the deprecation of lag_id and then another (which will target v7.0.0) with the removals?

Hi @ewbankkit, thanks for the clarification. I kept this PR as the documentation update. Then, #44096 does the deprecation of attributes.
