To my mind, one of the core ideas about the alpha releases was to be
able to pop them out with minimal overhead. It's *already* the case
that generating release notes is the most expensive part of the alpha
release process --- in fact, I'd venture that it's 90% or more of the
effort, just to produce the kind of notes we've produced for the past
alphas. I can't see that we're going to put significantly more effort
than that into them.
