The release notes for 5-STABLE and 6-CURRENT have no references to the Migration Guide. There used to be some boiler-plate references to src/UPDATING but they were probably removed during those releases where the Migration Guide existed. Some suitably motivated doc committer could update them if necessary and bring them back. Note that the Migration Guide was intended to address concerns of users upgrading from 4.X to 5.X. This is implied in its abstract and is specifically stated in the introduction.
