Then put a spoiler warning at the top of the notes like everyone else. Or use spoiler tags.
This isn't a new problem for video games.
Patch notes are not supposed to be marketing newsletters; they're supposed to detail what changed in a patch. When they get all cutesy and say "teheehee, it's a secret" that means that the playerbase won't know if the new stuff, when they find it, is working as expected. Like if I sign on and my FC still scales up to 1000% of the galactic mean, I will know right away that something is wrong because the patch notes told me it should now go to 100x. If I encounter the new ships (or whatever) and they're constantly bashing into space stations, I won't know if that's expected or not-- because I wasn't told anything about them.
