 	o mandb caches the contents of directories, significantly speeding
 	  up the purging of obsolete entries.
 
+	In addition, a pipeline execution library has been written, which
+	will make it possible to eliminate all or almost all use of the
+	shell in a future release. Unfortunately, time pressures due to the
+	security issues above meant that the pipeline library was not well
+	enough tested for use in this release, so it is present but unused.
+	That will be the first item for 2.4.3.
