Note that this bug report is more a reminder that probably something will
need to be documented in the Release Notes than a proposed text. I hope
the XSF will provide a proposed text for the real issues that need
documenting.
I'd suggest to first finish the transition, then thoroughly test the
upgrade path from Sarge and after that come up with a proposed text for
the release notes.
P.S. The bug number is #362996.
