15 I would change this to:

17 - ---

19 With this comes changes to configuration that will likely need
20 attention. Upstream's upgrading document outlines any major
21 configuration changes that may be necessary when upgrading. It can be
22 found at:
23
24 - ---

26 The reason I suggest cutting it a little is because the HTTP 2.0 mention
27 comes, and then right after there was the "rather than enumerate the
28 changes..." part. If HTTP 2.0 is listed among the changes on Apache's
29 upgrade guide, it's redundant to put it in the news item.

31 Also, tone. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this, but generally I think news
32 should be neutral and absent of "you" and "we", if possible. The primary
33 impact here is configurations may need changing, and instead of creating
34 a massive news item with all the changes, we're just referring to
35 upstream's extant documentation, which is a good call. I just feel the
36 tone should be a bit more "keep it to the facts". Otherwise, it looks
37 good to me. :)
