+  * incompatible change: FD-STREAMS no longer participate in the serve-event
+    event-loop by default.
+    ** In addition to streams created by explicit calls to MAKE-FD-STREAM this
+       affects streams from CL:OPEN.
+    ** Streams from SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM still participate in serve-event by
+       default, but this is liable to change: applications needing serve-event
+       for socket streams should explicitly request it using :SERVE-EVENTS T
+       in the call.
   * enhancement: SB-EXT:WORD type is provided for use with SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF
     &co.
   * enhancement: CLOS effective method functions and defclass slot typechecking
