Please make sure I haven't missed anything for Elastic Agent. We should sort out a better way of handling the changelog now that Elastic Agent will be in a new repo.

I think we ought to remove this one due to adding this patch: elastic/kibana#126699. This means that we don't actually invoke the bundled packages functionality yet, so this release note could be misleading for users. WDYT @kpollich @joshdover?

This info is in the Kibana docs, too, which are already published. I think I will go ahead and merge this PR, and I can remove this item in a follow-up PR when I hear back. That way, I can remove it from Kibana, too. Just ping me if you want it removed. Thanks!

@jen-huang I think this note can remain because all the code that supports installation from bundled packages still shipped here, even if we had to patch the actual bundled package assets out due to bugs. In 8.2 we can add a release note that we're bundling APM, Elastic Agent, Endpoint, Fleet Server, and Synthetics integration assets with the Kibana distributable.

Also something I missed earlier from #1489 that we need to highlight here. I might do this after merging this PR because I'm working on the related doc changes:

Highlight the change that Default policy will not be available by default, and has to be created on UI/API or preconfiguration.
Highlight the change that for Self-managed, Default Fleet Server policy will not be available by default, and has to be created on UI/API or preconfiguration.
Elastic Cloud agent policy is not changed, will continue to be provided by default.
Add a link to the new doc page created above for creating agent policies.

I've created another issue to track the release notes work since that has a dependency on getting this PR merged: #1649
