I think we shouldn't update release notes once it has been released.

Perhaps it can be an option to mention from this in latest release notes with a
note that says actual support added in v17.11?

Ok, this will be updating in release notes for v18.02, 
and have a mention that this feature has been implemented in v17.11?

I think mentioning from first implemented release helps to reduce confusion, in
case users interested in implementation details etc... But no strong opinion.

I disagree.
It is really confusing to add 17.11 feature in 18.02 release notes.
It is better to add it in 17.11 release notes and backport it.

Please Ferruh, could you remove the patch v2 updating release_18_02.rst
from next-net?

Updating a release notes after release looks wrong to me. But I will update the
repo to move this into 17.11 release notes, no patch required.

And there is one more similar update, I guess that should be updated too, I will
check it as well.

Other one is following:

Updated those two commits to edit v17.11 release notes instead of v18.02.
