Some of the most _important_, OK. But don't necessarily think
you've found an easy way to fix this bug. The list would then
need to be fixed to specify the most important differences.
That might be easier that a comprehensive list of all differences,
but it is not trivial. And it is not enough to suppose that the
list as it stands now is adequate in that regard either.
And no, not "most glaring", i.e., most obvious. Users need
doc especially for what is not so obvious. Most important, OK.
Most glaring, no.
