+** Changes in behavior
+
+ su: this program has been removed. We stopped installing "su" by
+ default with the release of coreutils-6.9.90 on 2007-12-01. Now,
+ that the util-linux package has the union of the Suse and Fedora
+ patches as well as enough support to build on the Hurd, we no longer
+ have any reason to include it here.

* Noteworthy changes in release 8.17 (2012-05-10) [stable]
