I like the situation as it is. I'm an occasional commentator and a very
occasional contributor, so take my opinion with some salt.

It's easier for readers to filter the list in a way that makes sense to
them, because one developer's "deprecation of a misfeature" can easily
become a user's "sudden breaking change". I'm not saying this is done on
purpose, but it's easy for it to accidentally happen.

Perhaps a severity tag in the subject line is the answer?
