I forgot one thing:

Python 3 profile-guided optimisation
-----------------------------------------------

The python3 recipe now enables profile-guided optimisation; this requires a 
little extra build time in exchange for improved performance on the target at 
runtime, and is only enabled if the current MACHINE has support for user-mode 
emulation in QEMU (i.e. "qemu-usermode" is in MACHINE_FEATURES, which it is by 
default, so the machine configuration would need to have opted out for it not 
to be). If you wish to disable Python profile-guided optimisation regardless of 
the value of MACHINE_FEATURES, then ensure that PACKAGECONFIG for python3 does 
not contain "pgo". You could accomplish the latter using 
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-python3 = "pgo" at the configuration level or by setting 
PACKAGECONFIG using a bbappend for the python3 recipe.

So what I think we need here is to copy part of the "Using exit 1 to explicitly 
defer a postinstall script until first boot..." paragraph that's mentioned in 
the 2.5 migration section. Would it make sense to actually break this out to 
its own place in the documentation (on "Deferring postinstalls to first boot") 
and then link to that from both places?

While I think of it, could you also move the _remove item that's in the 
"Bitbake Changes" section into the "Override Changes" section?

Thanks,
Paul
