I'm not following this, Bruce. HOT came out in 8.3, not 8.4, so why would we
wait on documenting the problem?

Seems something would be better than nothing. Example:

"Note: In versions 8.3 and higher, indexes may not be immediately visible
due to the way HOT chains work. For more information, please see
<link to README.HOT>."

It might be nice to upgrade README.HOT to a real documentation page
as well.
