    - :py:func:`pvlib.pvsystem.adrinverter` is now :py:func:`pvlib.inverter.adr`
 * Argument ``ac_model`` for :py:class:`pvlib.modelchain.ModelChain` now accepts
   ``'sandia'``, ``'pvwatts'`` and ``'adr'`` for the inverter models.  (:pull:`886`)
+* :py:class:`pvlib.pvsystem.PVSystem` ``module_type`` and ``racking_model`` now
+  default to ``None``. This continues a deprecation of assuming SAPM values
+  for cell temperature modeling. In this v0.8 release series, calling
+  :py:meth:`pvlib.pvsystem.PVSystem.sapm_celltemp` will cause
+  ``PVSystem.temperature_model_parameters`` to be set to SAPM values for a
+  glass/glass module in open racking and emit a warning. In v0.9, users must
+  provide ``temperature_model_parameters`` or a valid combination of
+  ``module_type`` and ``racking_model``. (:issue:`1030`, :pull:`1033`)
