this change and point out possible consequences there.
   
   That page appears generated, at least initially, from JIRA. It has always 
bothered me that JIRA calls those "release notes" when they are really just a 
"Changelog", and basically just a subset of what you can find from git. I've 
never found those particularly useful. Editing it to have 
advice/warnings/notices, or a summarized narrative of the changes, would make 
it much more useful, I think. So, yes, I think that would be a perfect place to 
put some information about this. The main concern I would have is that people 
probably don't ever read those, because people have been trained to think of 
them as merely a changelog, and probably wouldn't think to look there for more 
useful information.
