I have suggested a replacement for the misleading sentence in the Description.
Comment 3 includes a superior proposal from Vincent Bray which goes further.

That being said, I have to agree with Comment 9 - there is an even simpler
solution. Just get rid of the 2.x changes description. At 2.2.31, the current
approach gets ridiculous. At most 2% of httpd users are still using 2.0.
Mentioning specific changes of 2.2 in 2.2.31's announcement while failing to
mention specific change of 2.2.31 is itself misleading, though not on the same
scale as the misleading sentence I reported.

Therefore, I would recommend to either start with a list of specific changes in
each patch release, or to remove the list of specific changes of 2.x.

Apologies as convincing as these cannot be rejected.

Sure.
