I just talked to Bruce on IM, and he said that he would NOT use any
release notes we produce no matter how good they are.
Therefore, us trying to help by producing alpha release notes is a waste
of time; I won't bother.
Instead, I'll just write up a brief, informal user-friendly list of
features and changes, and we can release that combined with the cvslog.
