The release-notes just use "generic you" rather than "one", which
avoids the problem that different branches of English use "one"
differently - in US English "one uses one's tab key" sounds impossibly
formal and usually becomes "one uses his or her tab key", but in my
own dialect it has to be the former and the latter is ungrammatical.
I was also going to say "nobody hyphenates workaround", but it turns
out some dictionaries do!
