I've updated the branch to add such documentation warnings. Also, changed the timeline to extend over two release cycles (1.6 - 1.8) instead of accelerating it to finish in 1.7. I've also created a second branch with the changes that would need to be performed before releasing 1.8: https://github.com/ramiro/django/compare/9321-m2m-help_text...9321-m2m-help_text-post-1.6 Apps now need to take care of the help text, the admin app is one of them and so does this patch by moving the logic there. Note how tests that check the HTML output of modelforms for models with m2m fields don't need to contain the non-relevant help text markup anymore.
