Fedora 19 has gone through yet another change to how network interfaces are renamed (biosdevname, etc.). This isn't mentioned in the "Changes in Fedora for System Administrators" section of the Release Notes, though it does seem to be in the Changes for Desktop Users section.
Is there any reason that this isn't mentioned in the "Changes in Fedora for System Administrators" section of the Release Notes, and is it too late to add it there?

It is mentioned in the Networking section. The entire document is arguably relevant to a sysadmin, but I can see where placing that in the higher level Desktop category might be confusing. This bears examination for the next release, IMO.

Many changes could arguably fit into multiple beats - subcategories in the document - and we try to pick the most appropriate one. Desktop changes vs system administrator changes is mostly a way to organize content rather than define scope, and perhaps an unneeded one.
Yes, it is too late to change this. I might take time away from other work for outright factual errors and such, but not for an aesthetic reorganization.
By the way, docs@lists.fedoraproject.org might be more appropriate.

By the way, there is one of those: the same entry mentions /etc/system/network-scripts/ instead of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. But most people who are using this information probably know the layout well enough to not get too confused.
