1. run

  ./configure --prefix=/wtf --disable-site-fndir

2. explain continuing presence of "/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions".

btw, you've just turned the last sentence into a perfect contradiction
of the paragraph it is closing.  the first stentence still reads:
"The default $fpath/$FPATH is now designed always to include [...]"

again: [...] designed to *always* [...].

emphasis mine.  which is it?  always, or unless/provided-that?

NEWS with your change, "always" and "unless" contradicting each other:

- The default $fpath/$FPATH is now designed always to include
  /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions.  [...]
  The intention of the new path element is to
  increase the likelihood that locally added functions can be found with
  the shell running "out of the box", unless the shell has been
  deliberately configured differently by the installer for some special
  purpose.
