Is the word "must" defined anywhere?  When I read it, it looks like there
are serious patches included in this release, perhaps data integrity or
security patches.  But "must" has been in an awful lot of these release
notes lately, that it makes me wonder if it is boilerplate.

Just curious how to interpret this.

Thanks,
