I think all of us who were upset making the transition to 4.4.0 would greatly appreciate if (in the
future) there will not only be short "there's a new release" notices, but if these
notices would directly point to a list like this one.
E. g. MySQL does a pretty good job with their upgrade notes, so you know before the upgrade what
problems to expect; they also explicitly list all the "incompatible changes" (and there
are quite some with MySQL5).
Maybe for some folks on this list the changes are well-known or obvious and compiling a list like
this one seems to be unnecessary. But most of the sysops and developers out there don't have
the time to keep up with all the changes and don't like the fear of shooting themselves in the
foot with every new update/-grade/release. And they are especially afraid after what happened with
4.4.0, so this is a good step to reestablish some trust.
Put simply, this is the professionalism expected in "business/enterprise" environments :).
