I think it is necessary to add the notice to UPDATING because it's been half an year since the incident day. If it were like within last few days, I definitely would've gotten some hints about the fix by scanning -current (which I did). But I had to scratch my heads helplessly until I asked the list, and you know that the typical response of the list to this type of inquiry has been `Welcome to Yesterday.' If UPDATING does not properly save people like me, what will? So, Warner, could you update the relevant entry in UPDATING?
