How is that specific change (which just takes away a "published") in 
isolation needed now on libreoffice-4.0?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against unpublishing that old-style 
"documentation only" service at all (I wouldn't even be opposed to 
changing it while it was still marked published, if there is need for 
that).  I just doubt it is useful to make this "announcement" in a micro 
release.  (We will want to keep a track of what incompatible changes 
were made when, and things will be kept simpler if we try to keep such 
changes to x.y.0 releases.)

I think using "cherry-pick -x" to get that comment added doesn't hurt 
(though it's sure no big thing if one forgets specifying that "-x" either).
