 - Change how the "cookie" HTTP request header is represented in APM transaction
   data to avoid a rare, but possible, intake bug where the transaction could be
   rejected due to a mapping conflict.
-
-  Before this change a `Cookie: foo=bar; sessionid=42` HTTP request header
-  would be represented in the transaction document in Elasticsearch with these
-  document fields (the example assumes <<sanitize-field-names>> matches
-  "sessionid", as it does by default):
-
-  ```
-  http.request.headers.cookie: "[REDACTED]"
-  ...
-  http.request.cookies.foo: "bar"
-  http.request.cookies.sessionid: "[REDACTED]"
-  ```
-
-  After this change it is represented as:
-
-  ```
-  http.request.headers.cookie: "foo=bar; sessionid=REDACTED"
-  ```
-
-  In other words, `http.request.cookies` are no longer separated out.
