Release notes snippet

We've seen that case in production with contrib, you are then forced to pick a new format, I don't think that's very problematic. But yes, test coverage makes sense.
There's one thing I'm wondering about. Beside this feature, the allowed_formats contrib module also has settings to hide the lengthy text format explanations, a feature that we use often. I'm a bit unsure how to handle that, for now you'd still need to use the contrib module for that, so it would require a new major version with a (post) update function and just those two settings? definitely don't want to delay this issue even further, maybe a follow-up that would allow us to move those into the same minor version?
