The release notes addition we suggested in the feature page tells you what to do.
The feature page also says we'll add /var/log/README explaining the situation.
It would be useful actually if you raised these points only after reading the thread, because this has been discussed quite a few times already on this thread.
In theory, everyone should read the ChangeLog, RELEASE-NOTES, and manual on every thing he/she uses.
In reality, well ... What's the percentage of your friend and family actually finish read all the document they supposed to read?
We actually stick the README in /var/log, i.e. where the admin looks for the log files. We do not hide it in /usr/share/doc or so where nobody looks.
That would definitely help for people that actively go into /var/log and look for /var/log/messages.
It does not help on the case of some monitor program that read /var/log/messages then generate the reports.
User might be aware the monitor program stop working, but not aware the root cause is /var/log/messages no longer exists.
