The owner of MkDocs has completely abandoned maintenance of the project, and instead is planning to publish a "version 2" which will not support any existing themes, plugins or even your configuration files. This v2 may eventually replace what you download with pip install mkdocs, suddenly breaking the build of your existing site.
To avoid these risks, switch to ProperDocs, a continuation of MkDocs 1.x and a drop-in replacement that supports your current MkDocs setup.
Simply install it with pip install properdocs and build your site with properdocs build instead of the MkDocs equivalents.
Alternatively, to just skip this warning in the future, you can set the environment variable DISABLE_MKDOCS_2_WARNING=true.
