I wouldn't say that we "shouldn't have users read upgrade notes". What I was saying is that if there is a benefit to users reading upgrade notes, we're not those who enjoy it, users are. It's fine to say "We recommend to read the upgrade notes, which are available in [...]", but not to ask users to read.
