* I agree there is a lot of boilerplate text and I would be happy to
restructure the release notes better.
* AFAICT, the "unique" parts are currently parts of chapter 4 and all
of chapter 5.
- Preferably, we should extract the "per release" parts from chapter
4 into its own chapter, so the relevant upgrade caveats for
Stretch are isolated (instead of interleaved in boilerplate).
* If you feel something is missing; please *PLEASE* file bugs for it.
- preferably with patches.
- The release notes for Jessie were written mostly by yours truly
with sporadic help from 2-3 others (and a lot of drive-by patches).
* We are too few to write the release-notes to keep track of all the
relevant parts for a release.
- HELP IS VERY WELCOME!

I appreciate it was (hopefully) not your intention. But with that
remark you make me feel like I have wasted my time and effort trying to
the write the Jessie release notes.
Thanks,
~Niels
