If things stayed exactly the same between released versions there would
be no real reason to have a new version.  As has been stated things
change.  

The release notes are there to provide some hints at what has changed. 
Obviously not all items changed are used by all users so each user needs
to review the release notes to determine if sub systems they use have
changed.

Maybe before you are allowed to download the iso files each down loader
would be required to read the release notes and pass a short test on the
contents of those release notes?  :)
