+  bugs:
+    - Upgrades could sometimes fail if a high-availability replica's clock was out of sync with the primary. 
+    - OAuth Applications created after September 1st, 2020 were not able to use the [Check an Authorization](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.1/rest/reference/apps#check-an-authorization) API endpoint. 
+  known_issues:
+    - The {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} npm registry no longer returns a time value in metadata responses. This was done to allow for substantial performance improvements. We continue to have all the data necessary to return a time value as part of the metadata response and will resume returning this value in the future once we have solved the existing performance issues.
+    - On a freshly set up {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
+    - Custom firewall rules are removed during the upgrade process.
+    - Git LFS tracked files [uploaded through the web interface](https://github.com/blog/2105-upload-files-to-your-repositories) are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
+    - Issues cannot be closed if they contain a permalink to a blob in the same repository, where the blob's file path is longer than 255 characters.
+    - When "Users can search github.com" is enabled with GitHub Connect, issues in private and internal repositories are not included in github.com search results.
+    - If {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} is enabled for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, teardown of a replica node with `ghe-repl-teardown` will succeed, but may return `ERROR:Running migrations`.
+    - Resource limits that are specific to processing pre-receive hooks may cause some pre-receive hooks to fail.
