This email is not a changelog!

See the Release Notes which mentions the removal of the status icons almost at the bottom of the page. It mentions the workaround and points to a longer article on the topic.

GNOME 3.26 released

This email contains a short list of changes. It is used as change log, in the sense that it informs the readers of the most important changes from the new release. This is why this article uses it verbatim. This is why I've been calling it both "change log" and "the announcement". This is why I am complaining that it does not include an important and potentially application breaking change, that some users might want to know in advance.

Something more, I might not go to the "release notes" page, if the most important things they've done are some cosmetics. And even if I do, I might not go all the way to the end and read every little foot note. I mean, you would not expect an application breaking change to be placed under "smaller improvements", would you? It doesn't even have a bullet point, like the other changes there, I guess because it is neither small, nor an improvement.
