We can (and do, AFAIK) discuss which items belong in NEWS.  But there

any easier.

I doubt there are more than one or at max two items that would break network connectivity.

In both cases it was only one item that broke my ability to connect to the rebooted machine. After the dist-upgrade finishes, people would usually type reboot and hit enter.
If above the current prompt (where you enter 'reboot'), something like

    _  _____ _____ _____ _   _ _____ ___ ___  _   _
   / \|_   _|_   _| ____| \ | |_   _|_ _/ _ \| \ | |
  / _ \ | |   | | |  _| |  \| | | |  | | | | |  \| |
 / ___ \| |   | | | |___| |\  | | |  | | |_| | |\  |
/_/   \_\_|   |_| |_____|_| \_| |_| |___\___/|_| \_|

or

 ____ _____ ___  ____      ____ _____ ___  ____
/ ___|_   _/ _ \|  _ \    / ___|_   _/ _ \|  _ \
\___ \ | || | | | |_) |   \___ \ | || | | | |_) |
 ___) || || |_| |  __/     ___) || || |_| |  __/
|____/ |_| \___/|_|       |____/ |_| \___/|_|

shows up, I am pretty sure it catches your attention.
