Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 As shared via slack, here's my suggestion for the miscellaneous developer
 focused changes dev note.

 > Administration
 > List tables are no longer considered private to WordPress Core and can
 now be freely used by themes and plugins. The private delegation has been
 removed from the `_get_list_table()` function and `WP_List_Table` and
 related classes. See #18449.

 `WP_List_Table` is
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01GF27R1KD18ENS3KAZZEH3MZP used 17,505
 times in the plugin repo] so I don't think a full dev note explaining
 their use is needed.
