Yeah, I see nothing about 3f902354b in release-10.sgml either.
We've had varying policies over the years about whether to mention
internal API changes in the release notes or not, but this one
I think does belong there, since it's a silent API break rather
than one that would easily be caught due to compiler errors.
Bruce, did you have any specific reasoning for leaving it out?
