Can such a change description become more imperative?

I find that these control flow adjustments do not fit to the changelog.
They can be offered in another update step (on demand), can't they?

There are no scoped_guard() calls performed in your patch.
How do you think about to use a summary phrase like “Switch mutex calls to mutex guard usage”?
