I think the part about "an unusually high number of
backwards-incompatible changes" is unnecessarily scary. The number of
incompatible changes in the release notes is only slightly higher than
in previous releases (10: 19, 9.6: 13, 9.5: 12, 9.4: 22), and half of
those are removing ancient junk that no one was using.
I get that we want people to test and adjust their applications as early
as possible, but how about something like this instead: "Version 10
contains a few changes that are incompatible with prior major releases.
We encourage all users test it against their applications and platforms
as soon as possible."
