 Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
 =================================================
-.. NOTE
-   For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
-   this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
-   point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
-   functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
-   for adding a new subsection.
 
 * LLVM's ``WeakVH`` has been renamed to ``WeakTrackingVH`` and a new ``WeakVH``
   has been introduced.  The new ``WeakVH`` nulls itself out on deletion, but
   does not track values across RAUW.
-  
+
 * A new library named ``BinaryFormat`` has been created which holds a collection
   of code which previously lived in ``Support``.  This includes the
   ``file_magic`` structure and ``identify_magic`` functions, as well as all the
   structure and type definitions for DWARF, ELF, COFF, WASM, and MachO file
   formats.
-  
+
 * The tool ``llvm-pdbdump`` has been renamed ``llvm-pdbutil`` to better reflect
   its nature as a general purpose PDB manipulation / diagnostics tool that does
   more than just dumping contents.
-  
+
 * The ``BBVectorize`` pass has been removed. It was fully replaced and no
   longer used back in 2014 but we didn't get around to removing it. Now it is
   gone. The SLP vectorizer is the suggested non-loop vectorization pass.
 
-.. NOTE
-   If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
-   subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
-   and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).
