I'm still unconvinced that such trivial tweaks to which warnings on in
what option deserve mention in the release notes (cf.
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-11/msg00816.html>); though in this
case there was no bug report requesting the move, if anything that makes
it less significant and less worthy of comment. (Of course the real point
of the patch, being the -Wparentheses testsuite, is not user-visible and
is completely irrelevant to release notes.) But perhaps you have specific
criteria in mind for what changes merit (a) mention on release notes, (b)
mention on the front page of gcc.gnu.org, (c) mention on gcc-announce.
