What does this mean? Not referring to the grammar, but generally? If this is relevant to people not updating to 2.440.2, why is this in the upgrade guide?

Kevin wanted to highlight issues that users might encounter at the same time that they were upgrading to the new LTS release. They could encounter the same issues in other conditions and at other times, but LTS upgrades are a specific event where it seemed helpful to tell users that they need to take specific actions to reduce the risk of issues

Due to the two changes mentioned being breaking changes if they were not done/done properly, it felt as though it would be good to call attention to them. However, it's not necessarily enough content that would call for a separate blog post or announcement in that fashion.
Outside of the plugin release notes, the core upgrade guide seemed like the next best place to put this information. I'm totally open to alternative locations for this sort of update to go, as I'd like to make sure things are as clear as possible and without cluttering anything up.

Why is the upgrade guide not providing a link to JENKINS-72665? |
Unintentional omission. Fix proposed in: |
This pull request is for the 2.440.2 changelog & upgrade guide.
It does not include the "fix missing folders icon" backport as this was part of the 2.440.1 release and changelog.
I have also included an entry in the upgrade guide in regards to the recent Jakarta Mail & Activation API plugin updates. If they are not updated, this will cause a breaking change, so I wanted to be sure that this information is relayed. If it should not be included in the upgrade guide since it is not specific to 2.440.2, then it can be removed.
