Understood, but the question is whether the release notes are the right
place to educate users of something that will no longer be a problem.  I
am happy to adjust things to whatever the community wants, but, on the
other hand I have a responsibility to be consistent what what they have
wanted in the past.  I am also open to reviewing how we filter things
compared other projects.

On a larger note, not being in the release notes doesn't mean it isn't
important, but rather, that is isn't a change users need to know about.
