The team has been doing a much better job of moving info from the 
Release Notes into the main docs, but many details from the past, like 
this gem and some of the critically important new field features, are 
lost to those who don't keep all the Release Notes for every new build 
that comes out.

It would seem a worthy effort for the team to have someone spend one day 
going through all release notes back to v2.7 and make sure everything 
they cover is in the current docs.
