IMHO, it does.

This would include classes/methods/functions, etc.

Plus, a section which covers the C API.

All entries should include the reasoning and explain ways to upgrade old code or what to do in order to maintain backward compatibility to run old code without change (e.g. to install a backward compatibility add-on distutils package).
