Quite right -- we fell into the trap of just following our standard procedures, instead of thinking about whether this met the test for being documented in UPDATING (which it certainly does, since it is a potentially astonishing user-visible change). I've added it to the stable branches, but not to -current, since hyper-threading is still enabled by default in HEAD. Colin Percival
