I disagree with this assertion, and frankly I cannot understand why you
think that's the most useful thing to do.  The release notes are not a
press release, where you have to make things pretty or understandable to
everyone.  Users can skip items they don't understand or don't care
about; but would at least be given the option.  If we don't document,
we're making the decision for them that they must not care.
