Is this better contained in a FAQ rather than hardcoding tips into error messages?

Rename "trusts" component to "Trusts" to achieve correct sorting.

Moving open tickets to next month bucket.

Decreasing priority, this is just an error message improvement.

We no longer have capacity in 3.3 development, moving to 3.4.

3.4 development was shifted by one month, moving tickets to reflect reality better.

Adjusting time plan - 3.4 development was postponed as we focused on 3.3.x testing and stabilization.

Moving unfinished November tickets to January.

No one picked that effort. Given the low priority and scope of this change, I am moving it to Future Releases.
