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? :) -- Scot L.
