Subject: [PATCH] re-document 12915 as not fully fixed

The ORM side of this issue can't be fixed without rewriting
.params() which will be 2.1 only, so clarify changelog

     :tickets: 12915
 
-    Fixed issue where using :meth:`_sql.Select.params` to replace bound
-    parameters in a query could fail for some cases where the parameters
-    were embedded in subqueries or CTEs when ORM classes were involved,
-    due to issues with internal query traversal for these cases.
+    Some improvements to the :meth:`_sql.ClauseElement.params` method to
+    replace bound parameters in a query were made, however the ultimate issue
+    in :ticket:`12915` involving ORM :func:`_orm.aliased` cannot be fixed fully
+    until 2.1, where the method is being rewritten to work without relying on
+    Core cloned traversal.
