 - The ``introducer.furl`` for new Introducers is now unguessable. In previous
   releases, this FURL used a predictable swissnum, allowing a network
-  eavesdropper (who observes any node connecting to the Introducer) to access
+  eavesdropper who observes any node connecting to the Introducer to access
   the Introducer themselves, and thus use servers or offer storage service to
   clients (i.e. "join the grid"). In the new code, the only way to join a
-  grid is to be told the introducer.furl by someone who already knew it. Note
-  that pre-existing introducers are not changed: to take advantage of this
-  fix for an existing grid, you must create a new introducer and distribute
-  the new ``introducer.furl`` to all of your users. (`#1802`_)
