For me it was fully intentional! For the "trunk" timeline it's not
that useful to know that the timeline is not finished, but for other
timelines it could be useful to know whether the complete
timeline is printed or not.

Many people don't read the help pages, unfortunately.

It's not meant as a reminder. If you specify "-n 20" and there are
less than 20 entries, there will be no such last line.
An alternative could be to do the reverse: Output a last line like:
=== timeline complete ===
when there are no more entries. Would you prefer that?
However, I would like to be able to tell the difference, whether
the loop stopped because the limit was reached or there
are no more entries any more.
Anyway, I'm glad you like the feature! Thanks!
