OK, I think we can add more explanation here.

The ice driver is claimed as an experimental release in 19.02, only basic 
function is enabled and the quality is not guaranteed, 
We assume user already know this and expected to meet some issue, 
Also 19.02 is not LTS release, so maintainer no need to worry about fix back 
port.
so from my view, the "impact" part is not necessary to be highlighted for this 
patch but a nice to have, am I right?

OK, will add fix line for this.
