Internal slack thread

The KV_DISTRIBUTION channel is listed in the docs under logging, but not under logging-overview#logging-channels.

Jira Issue: DOC-8678

also, the KV_DISTRIBUTION channel shows up in documentation as far back as v21.1, although it wasn't introduced till much later. it would be useful if KV_DISTRIBUTION were noted in the Release Notes of the version in which it was introduced.

similarly, the TELEMETRY channel was added to the docs for v21.1, but is noted in the 21.2 docs as as "new in v21.2".
