Ed,
I think your intent to provide a meaningful document is admirable. I do
have to say though that in the past couple of years of subscribing to
various red-hat email lists I can't remember a single instance of
complaint about the release note format. There may have been one but
it's so rare ....... I can however, remember countless times that
posters have been criticized for not reading the notes for some problem
that's clearly described there. One possible conclusion is that you've
done a better job than you're giving yourself credit for.
As I noted earlier I'm a happy camper as long it's an ASCII readable
document I can kick up in "vi" and browse through as I do now.
Regards, Mike Klinke
