OK, I didn't know the background. A pointer to an info node about the
change might be more appropriate, give room for description.
The problem I had was being confronted with a warning, not being sure
of the source, not finding a variable "HOME" after typing "c-h v HOME"
("c-h v *home*" got me closer, but the docs for abbreviated-home-dir
didn't tell me much), and not knowing where and how HOME was being
set. So all this warning needs is a little more verbosity, giving the
end user more help on fixing the cause.
Thanks
