That is already covered previously under compatibility issues.

But the context of this comment is many users accessing a repository on
a network share and hoping to use locking. They can only do that using
FSFS.

I have updated the release notes again (removed the BDB comment from teh
locking section).

I also added a brief note about upgrading repositories to 1.2 format to
gain the xdelta speedup for reconstruction of older data.
