Subject: 27.2; Clarify gnus-group-use-permanent-levels behavior
Date: Sun, 05 Sep 2021 16:38:21 -0700

The effect of gnus-group-use-permanent-levels persists across separate
Gnus sessions.

For example, if I start Gnus, set the level to N, quit Gnus, and start
Gnus again, the level I previously set still applies.

I think this behavior is a little surprising and should be explicitly
noted in the documentation.

I think it's a bug, so I've now changed that in Emacs 28.
