 ### Service Mesh Compatibility
 Prior to Consul 1.14, cluster peering or Consul connect were disabled by default.
 A breaking change was made in Consul 1.14 that:
-- [Cluster Peering is enabled by default.](/docs/connect/cluster-peering) To disable, set
-[`peering.enabled`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#peering_enabled) to `false`.
-- [Consul Connect is enabled by default.](/docs/connect) To disable, set
-[`connect.enabled`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#connect_enabled) to `false`.
+- [Cluster Peering is enabled by default.](/docs/connect/cluster-peering)
+  Cluster peering and WAN federation can coexist,
+  so there is no need to disable cluster peering to upgrade existing WAN federated datacenters.
+  To disable cluster peering nonetheless, set [`peering.enabled`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#peering_enabled) to `false`.
+- [Consul Connect is enabled by default.](/docs/connect)
+  To disable, set [`connect.enabled`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#connect_enabled) to `false`.
 
 The changes to Consul service mesh in version 1.14 are incompatible with Nomad 1.4.2 and
