By and large, I expect the target audience for the announcement will be
unfamiliar with the controversy surrounding the switch; so for most people
it won't be noteworthy that we're using Google since that's what was already
used in 9.10 and earlier, and I think it would miss the mark to draw
attention to this in the RC announcement.  Do you think that we still need
to do more to spread the word about the switch back, and set the record
straight?  Would a separate mail to ubuntu-devel-announce perhaps be more
appropriate?

Difficult to see so far where the right place to document this is given that
it's not yet clear if it's going to be fixed prior to release, but yes, I'll
make sure this gets documented for RC.

Thanks,
