That may be overkill... As far as I am concerned, a simple entry in
UPDATING is sufficient. Here's my suggested patch:


--- /usr/src/UPDATING	2007-07-09 11:11:19.000000000 +0200

+	The getfacl(1) utility now prints owning user and group name

 	IPSEC option now requires "device crypto" be defined in your kernel
