I agree with Kamil here, I find his original wording better. "Need not
include" implies that it *could* be included, which is not what we're
trying to say, we are trying to say it's definitely not included - that
a bug which only affected switching between multiple sessions of one
user would not be release-blocking.

I agree that "in their default configuration" covers it, but an
explicit footnote couldn't hurt, it's always good to be clear.
