-component and, respectively, the definition of the ``Python3::NumPy``,
-``Python2::NumPy`` and ``Python::NumPy`` targets.
+``Python::NumPy`` does not depend on ``Python::Development.Module``.

-and ``Python::NumPy`` targets provided, respectively, by the modules

-create a dependency of the ``NumPy`` target over the ``Development.Module``
-target.
+:module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2`, and :module:`FindPython` provide
+``Python{3,2,}::NumPy`` and ``Python{3,2,}::Development.Module`` targets when
+the corresponding components are requested.
 
+In CMake 4.1 and below, requesting the ``NumPy`` component implies the
+``Development.Module`` component, and the provided ``Python{3,2,}::NumPy``
+targets depend on the provided ``Python{3,2,}::Development.Module`` targets.
+This dependency is not necessary.
+In CMake 4.2 and above, requesting the ``NumPy`` component does not imply the
+``Development.Module`` component, and the provided ``Python{3,2,}::NumPy``
+targets do not depend on the provided ``Python{3,2,}::Development.Module``
+targets.
 This policy provides compatibility with projects that expect the legacy
 behavior.
 
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy makes ``NumPy`` depend on
+``Development.Module``.  The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy does not.
