-XXX Remove this section if inapplicable.
+XXX Remove this section if not applicable.
The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a
future release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN.
for important changes should then be added by hand. In an ideal world,
dual-life modules would have a F<Changes> file that could be cribbed.
+The list of new and updated modules is modified automatically as part of
+preparing a Perl release, so the only reason to manually add entries here is if
+you're summarising the important changes in the module update. (Also, if the
+manually-added details don't match the automatically-generated ones, the
+release manager will have to investigate the situation carefully.)
