The transpiler routing pass, :class:`~.BIPMapping` has been deprecated
and will be removed in a future release. It has been replaced by an external
plugin package: ``qiskit-bip-mapper``. Details for this new package can
be found at the package's github repository:
https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-bip-mapper
The pass was made into a separate plugin package for two reasons, first
the dependency on CPLEX makes it harder to use and secondly the plugin
package more cleanly integrates with :func:`~.transpile`.
