Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Good thought bgamari, I've
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Migration/8.4?version=4 added a
 blurb] about this to the 8.4 migration guide.

 I don't think it would hurt adding mention of the fact that `TypeInType`'s
 validity checks tightened up in the release notes. FWIW, there is
 [https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3859 another patch] in the works that
 will make `TypeInType` pickier w.r.t. GADTs as well, so it might also
 behoove us to mention that as well.
