I don't think there is a well covering policy. I'd treat it like a user
facing message in the code, for example. Would you back patch the same
thing if it was in an ereport? If so, I'd back patch it in the docs. It's
docs that people are going to be referring to for years to come.. And the
effort is close to zero to back patch it. If it was more complex, I'd think
twice about it.
