Unless you work extremely hard at it, you won't be using the
local and/or ssh walkers.  The entry is really meant for
Porcelain writers (aka plumbing users).

It's a tricky balancing act.  Not everybody is the end user who
is only interested in using Porcelain.  The release note for a
new release somehow needs to mention changes that would affect
only plumbing users as well.
