The original NEWS entry for the vTPM transient VM crash was rather vague and non-actionable. As the bug is still actively experienced by users [1] of distros that didn't yet ship an update to v11.0.0 and is hit by relatively common usage improve the entry to mention situations when it happens and link to upstream bug reports containing workarounds.
