Hm, so the only objection I can think of is that this results in the old
release notes only being available on the website; there's no other way
to access them, short of digging around in the git repo. But maybe that's
enough. It's certainly attractive that this doesn't seem like it'd entail
any manual effort once it's set up initially.
