For the purposes of the CSR and the release note then I think it would be better to have the complete story in one issue rather than some of the story in one issue the two issues needing to cross reference each other.

The --generate-index/-i option is deprecated - it may be ignored or removed in a future release. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/13158#issuecomment-1490325051
