@@ -6,8 +6,6 @@ Added `--xfail-tb` flag, which turns on traceback output for XFAIL results.
 
 Some history:
 
-* This is a behavior break, but brings default behavior back to pre-8.0.0 behavior.
-* With this change, default `-rx`/ `-ra` behavior is identical to pre-8.0 with respect to xfail tracebacks.
-* With pytest 8.0, `-rx` or `-ra` would not only turn on summary reports for xfail, but also report the tracebacks for xfail results.
-* This caused issues with some projects that utilize xfail, but don't want to see all of the xfail tracebacks.
-* This change detaches xfail tracebacks from `-rx`, and now we turn on xfail tracebacks with `--xfail-tb`.

With this, the default `-rx`/ `-ra` behavior is identical to pre-8.0 with respect to xfail tracebacks. While this is a behavior change, it brings default behavior back to pre-8.0.0 behavior, which ultimately was considered the better course of action.
