I think it is important that we are up beat about what we have achieved,
but perhaps we should avoid opinions in the release notes.
Perhaps it should be part of the press release?
We should say that the release notes get discussed on -hackers and the
press releases get discussed on -advocacy. That way the scope is clear
and we can keep the marketing at arms length from the engineering. I
think we need both, but in appropriate places.
