This use of the release notes bothers me a teensy bit.

The problem is that after the release (and we go to 4.7-STABLE), I clear
out all of the release notes entries.  (By definition they only contain
information that's changed from one release to another.)  So these
little tidbits that you've been adding are going to disappear.

If this type of information is persistent across multiple releases, 
I'd put it in the hardware notes instead.  Otherwise, when 4.8 comes 
around, you're going to wind up adding it again.

Bruce.

PS.  That being said, I'd rather have problems like this documented
*somewhere* than not at all.
