If you consider it somewhat relevant you are arguing that it was a way
to bring it to the attention of the backports team. No, it isn't, the
changelog is not a communication channel.
And at that time we didn't had the policy queue in place yet. If this
would have been communicated directly to us we might have found a
solution, and actually: at that time it was very possible to keep/have
1.8 still there for stretch. So it is relevant in the sense that the
maintainers chose actively to not have an LTS release for a stable
release, at a point where the timeframe did allow proper discussion and
solution finding of the issue.
