Thanks for this Jacob. I agree with Victor's comments, this needs a few edits in the first instance.

A tip for using admonitions: they stand out and are highlighted, which means that using them must be done sparingly -- when is is most critical for a reader to be aware of a point? I think in this instance, backporting is not of sufficient import; so regular prose is fine. This is very akin to the boy who cried wolf, just in this instance replace the villagers with readers and the wolf with admonitions!

Thanks Adam, and understood. That makes sense - the use of admonitions is quite a bit different than I am used to 😄

Please re-review at your earliest convenience to see if it is in line with what we want to communicate

Please avoid force-pushing, it makes reviewing in the GH interface much harder. PRs are squash merged.
