No argument there, of course; it needs to be documented. But maybe not
as the very first item at the top of the release notes, which people
might expect to be organized in a "most user-visible first" order. I
usually expect to see general descriptions of new features and
critical bugfixes at the top of a program's release notes, with the
option to keep reading if I want the low-level details.
Barring that, or even in addition to that, would it make sense to have
separate "porcelain" and "plumbing" sections of the release notes?
I think that makes sense, as "most user-visible first" order
will be different what kind of "user" you are.
