The rest of us need these clues, to help us figure out what you did. :) It has practical consequences, so it should be in NEWS. Eg this will prompt Someone to update the elisp manual, which still describes the old behaviour. IMO: if in doubt, make a NEWS entry. It can always be deleted before the release, when Someone reviews the NEWS file. (TIA, Someone!)
