I received a copy of it before, but the repost reminded me to followup.

Perhaps your release notes are more i386-centric than you think ;-)
In all seriousness, a few minor things:
1. upgrade-ARCH doesn't exist for ARCH in [m68k, alpha], since they
never had pre-2.0 releases (and alpha didn't have a 2.0 release; I
guess this means the release notes really don't apply on alpha).
2. Changing all references to (binary|disks|upgrade)-i386 to -ARCH and
saying for people to use their architecture instead of ARCH where
they see it would be nice.
Otherwise I thought they do a pretty good job of explaining things for
upgraders from 2.0.
I plan to include your release notes along with a m68k-specific README
on the quasi-official (or maybe completely-official... who decides
these things?) m68k CD set I'm working on.
