At a minimum, update body to include a link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates and what part(s) of the page you would like to see updated.

Issue: dbt-labs/dbt-core#9183
PR: dbt-labs/dbt-core#9289

Pages to update:

• https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/dbt_project.yml
• https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/core/connect-data-platform/profiles.yml
• https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/global-configs/yaml-configurations
• https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/global-configs/about-global-configs (?)
• probably others

Starting in v1.8:

• config: is deprecated within profiles.yml
• flags: is added to dbt_project.yml

In dbt_project.yml, user config will look like:

# dbt_project.yml
flags:
  send_anonymous_usage_stats: True
  ...

@jtcohen6 (just to overly communicate in both your issues 😆 ) I think we should aim to have all issues addressed by Friday 2/23 to give reviewers and authors enough time. Let me know if you need support!

@runleonarun I've marked #4814 ready for review! (After working through @dbeatty10's excellent first round of feedback)

Thanks @jtcohen6! @matthewshaver will review it today!
