 ### Known limitations
 
+- A zone stored by a release before 0.9.6 without the explicit-choice marker

 - If `timezone` is empty and `timezone_configured` is true (an explicit
   "host local" choice), that choice is respected and the API host's zone (UTC
   on the standard deployment) still applies until an admin selects a zone in
