Several other people probably too. > * 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! > So the remaing purpose is to ridicule those who dare to report a > problem that was actually mentioned. 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
