That seems like a very good idea to document this prominently in the
release notes. After all, we do install both Xorg and Wayland support,
so switching the desktop session is indeed trivial.

I was about to file a bug report against release-notes to add such a
section, but then it probably makes sense to wait for a final decision.

Related to that, we already have
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/commit/5496e24

Assuming it is decided, that the default is switched back to Xorg, this
existing paragraph in the release notes should be adapted accordingly.
