I am in favor of this patch (and was going to approve it).

However, as Richard has some resentiments, I think we should try to
come to a conclusion first.

And, we could/should include a textified version of these release notes
also as part of the release tarballs, by means of something like

I'd prefer only to include "critical" pages, not our main pages or mirror
