+### CBFS stage file format change
+
+[CB:46484](https://review.coreboot.org/46484) changed the in-flash
+file format of coreboot stages to prepare for per-file signature
+verification. As described in the commit message in more details,
+when manipulating stages in a CBFS, the cbfstool build must match the
+coreboot image so that they're using the same format: coreboot.rom
+and cbfstool must be built from coreboot sources that either both
+contain this change or both do not contain this change.
+
+Since stages are usually only handled by the coreboot build system
+which builds its own cbfstool (and therefore it always matches
+coreboot.rom) this shouldn't be a concern in the vast majority of
+scenarios.
