Andrea, The release note refers to an article in the Apple Knowledge Base that was written for systems up to and including El Capitain (MacOS 10.11). In Sierra (MacOS 10.12) the procedure is as I described and as chuck ef expanded on, i.e., how to kill Gatekeeper permanently (not recommended).
What I posted is current, and was taken point-by-point as I installed AOO on my iMac and Sierra. You may copy and edit my post and use it to amend the release notes if you like.
