It's not clear to me how an average user would get from the press
release or release notes to upgrading their installation to use
SCRAM-based authentication and passwords.  A little bit more guidance

The patch that Heikki posted seemed reasonable to me as a starting
point, but there probably needs to be more "how" information somewhere.
