It was added 1 or 2 days after the patch notes when I found time to read them. Because multiple people work here, information can sometimes get lost. The overall probability of upgrading stones to +5 remained unchanged; only the blue dragon breath was affected as it's used for both +5 and R stones.
Sometimes you need to revisit the patchnotes at least once or twice after the publishing (for like the first week). Since there might be stuff that we omit, specially on a big patch.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused. Have a great day!
