Re: [debian-volatile] debian-volatile in the release notes

I humbly suggest a little refinement ... for example, without the SGML:

  There is a new service called "debian-volatile", allowing users
  to easily update stable packages with information that quickly goes
  out of date. Examples are a virus scanner's signatures list or a spam
  filter's pattern set. An administrator can use the "debian-volatile"
  archive with similar ease to the "security.debian.org" archive, and
  enjoy the use of packages with up-to-date information without the
  hassle and risks of maintaining an entire (or partial) system based on
  bleeding-edge packages. For more information and a list of mirrors,
  please see the archive's web page at <http://volatile.debian.net/>.

This can probably be worded far better, but I think it is clearer on the
debian-volatile archive's purpose and usefulness to the reader of the
Release Notes.

Regards,

Andrew S.
