I am pretty sure it was in the patch notes (don't ask me which one though) - so nothing secret about it.
And whats so disturbing about it anyway? 
edit: isn't it this one?
"An executor corporation of an alliance will be unable to leave the alliance as long as other corporations remain as active members. For example, if Corporation A and Corporation B form an alliance and Corporation A tries to leave they will receive a message stating that the executor cannot quit while there are other members. Should Corporation B leave the alliance then Corporation A can quit the alliance and that alliance is disbanded. "
Patch 86756
Actually that does not change the disbanding of alliances issue as the executor corp can still kick all members then leave itself. That change only actually fixes in a rather bad way an issue we came across where an executor corp could leave an alliance yet still remain the executor in name because corps in an alliance cannot change their vote as to who they want to be the executor for the intial week after joining a new alliance. Unfortunately for us this happened right as the sign ups for the last alliance tourny opened  (and no the corp that was executor in name due to that mechanic could not apply for the alliance to join the tourny we got the CEO to try).
A better solution would just have been to have the vote of any new corps switched automatically to the oldest serving member corp of the alliance or something so the executor could still leave rather than being trapped either untill the intial week of those new corps are up or untill they have kicked them out.
Edit: Explanation of basically what that change affects (effects? i can never get them the right way around) in hopefully less confusing way
If my wording confuses you say theres 5 corps A, B, C, D and E
A and B intially start off in the alliance and have been in it for a few months A is executor. Then corps C, D and E all join withing a day they get set to automatically vote for current executor. Then 2 days later A decides to leave in the past A would leave and C, D and E would continue voting for A since they cant change votes for 5 more days and so since they cant change as far as the game is concerned A remains the executor however also since they are no longer in the alliance Directors/CEO of A dont get the options that an alliance executor corp would get in the corp and alliance management tab.
Now however instead if A decides to leave after 2 days they either have to wait the remaining 5 days for C, D and E to be able to change their votes or they have to kick C, D and E from the alliance.
