I've looked at this issue a bit now. I'm good with using essentially this
text in the release notes, but I think the instructions are one brick shy
of a load. Specifically, you claimed in the second commit that we'd not
made any releases using "norwegian-bokmal", but that's utterly wrong:
9.4.0 uses that spelling. What advice do we need to give 9.4 users?
