Sorry to be jumping back and forth between these two PRs.
I've changed the two notes in the Language Reference, since the linked assignment_expression nodes are well-defined in that context.
I'm resistant to changing the What's New wording, since the phrase "assignment expression" has a different meaning here... the walrus is just about the last thing that I want readers of this document to associate with the grammar change.
Using "expression" keeps with the wording in the PEP, which defines the term well.

Good point. I will merge things tomorrow.

This should be it for PEP 614.
