It wasn't known to me, a humble user. I read the Release Notes, Errata,
Hardware Notes, UPDATING and the Handbook before I upgraded, but I was still
caught off guard and left without a working system until I stumbled across a
Forum post, which solved the problem.

If this is not considered a software bug, it must surely be considered a
documentation bug.

Why not add a line or two about the problem to one, two or all of the official
documents listed above?

While we're at it, why not add a list of ALL kernel modules which must be
rebuilt from ports after a point-release upgrade?
