This sounds like something we've done in React code itself.
It also sounds like existing Bower users will be negatively affected.
I would instead add a separate section like
Discontinuing Bower Releases
Starting with 16.1.0, we will no longer be publishing new releases on Bower. You can continue using Bower for old releases, or point your Bower configs to the React UMD builds hosted on unpkg that mirror npm releases and will continue to be updated.
I don't think attribution is needed here since it's a team decision and more of a policy change than a behavior change.

Good idea! Will fix.
