should we mentioned #9825 and #9842 ?

should we mentioned #9825 and #9842 ?

I see these are more internal refactoring of the project, and not worth mentioning in the release notes. Especially #9842, which is just changing how we specify our dev dependencies, it's not reflected in the packaging metadata. You could argue that #9825 is at the same level as migrating to pyproject.toml
