 Description   

The fix for MDEV-19292 has some pretty confusing side effects for some users. I think the release notes for the MariaDB 10.2.26, MariaDB 10.3.17, and MariaDB 10.4.7 releases should mention that this bug is fixed in these versions. I think they should also mention that the change can have some side effects. I think they should also link to the following documentation section to describe the available workarounds:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/innodb-row-formats-overview/#upgrading-causes-row-size-too-large-errors

The release notes do not currently have any details about the bug fix. They just mention that it is related to CREATE TABLE. See here:
