Hi,

Any objection to adding a quick UPDATING entry for this? I'm seeing
occasional reports of this breakage as recent as today on IRC from
folks that were a little bit thrown off by this because it throws up
fairly far into the build and looks like a stand build regression
instead of a cp regression.

Thanks,
