Missing breaking change notice in update documentation

Problem to solve

The documentation concerning Gitlab update miss important information about changes brought by a new version.

Further details

I recently updated my self-hosted instance to v12.1 and I was surprised my Merge Request pipelines failed. I had to dig into the documentation to finally find this page stating that

Pipelines for merge requests are incompatible with CI/CD for external repositories.

I use CI/CD for external repositories. If I had been informed that updating would break my CI, maybe I would have taken my time to think about it. It is very unpleasant to discover this afterwards.

Proposal

Please document this kind of breaking changes in the future.
