I would have hoped that it's well understood that byte compilation must
be done in a separate Emacs process to be reliable, so that any previous
definitions don't pollute the environment. This is not specific to native
compilation.
If this NEWS entry means nothing deeper than that, I find it a bit
misleading.

It is understood by us, but not by people out there, who are routinely
compiling their init files from sessions that have other files loaded.

I don't know if it's deeper, but it doesn't mean to say what you think
it does, and it isn't directed at the Emacs developers.
