I've written a fairly detailed response on this about the reason why
I think that "leave a mention in the backward compatibility notes
section of the release notes" (your #1) is sufficient, but it seems
to have been lost in the ether.  I'll wait a bit and if the previous
response does not materialize, I may type it again.

But in addition to what I wrote there, there is this thread [*] from
2019 that indicates that our position is to mildly discourage
tag-to-tag in the first place.
