Would be interesting to know who has payed attention to the rpm
package changelog all the time and was aware of the change when it was
activated.
(Maybe I'm just tooting my own horn with this post but I'll go ahead
and post it anyway, just in case it turns out to be informative and
not egotistical.)
I saw the changelog entries at the time, but they were terse enough that
I didn't quite pick up on the consequences. Later, I stumbled upon the
new behavior. I was going to report it as a bug, but I browsed through
Bugzilla first and found bug 131766:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131766
Since it sounded like an intentional change and it was very late in the
dev cycle by the time I fully realized what was going on, I decided to
focus on getting it documented rather than changed. Therefore, I filed
bug 137033:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=137033
And that's how the change got documented in the release notes in the
first place...
