I've stated this same opinion prior, fix was in NEWS.txt and users had a
bad day with a behavior change. Perhaps this kind of inclusion needs
more exposure. This is exactly the sort of change may *also* be best
stated clearly in the vote/release emails, ala:
<release bits>
==================================================
This release contains a relatively major change you should be aware of,
with xyz fix, new default, and with the behavior change, here are the
new defaults, how to disable, etc...
==================================================
kthxbai.
Just do everything possible to convey what operators need to know,
wherever we can, if we include the fix. Link to NEWS.txt is insufficient
in this sort of case.
Warm regards,
Michael

want to lose sleep for data loss while on-call, they can read NEWS.txt and
disable rejection.
