I didn't find the rewrite to be significantly clearer than what I
wrote, but obviously I might be biased.

I almost did this in the NEWS patch I sent a few days ago, but then
decided there wasn't much benefit to adding a 5.8.1 subsection and
that I didn't want to bury the CVE mention below all the changes that
(in real life but not release cycle) preceded it.

It was suggested that we change this prompt, too.  Votes?

This seems wrong.  The incompatibilities are either between 5.7.1 and
5.8, or between 5.8 and 5.8.1

If we're adding a sections specifically for 5.8.1, should the
line-buffering bug be mentioned?
