 Description   

See SERVER-9029 for the origin of the request.

I think we need to have a general note in the release notes as well as some detail of the needed pre-upgrade check in the upgrade instructions:

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.4/
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.4-upgrade/

Will suggest text via pull requests, to follow

Getting errors trying to submit on github for some reason - unable to troubleshoot and have to run, proposed release notes update, to be added here:

Unique User Constraints
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Versions of MongoDB prior to 2.4 allowed the creation of multiple users
with the same username.  This was an oversight and has been corrected in
version 2.4.  However, this means that prior to an upgrade, all
duplicate users must be removed.
 
See :doc:`/release-notes/2.4-upgrade` for more information.
