Maybe it'll help > head-off some mailing-list-semi-noise(?) :) src/release/texts/README points you to src/release/doc/README. src/release/doc/README has some instructions that perhaps don't give as much detail as they should. :-p I'll ask imp to put an item in src/UPDATING about RELNOTESng for both -CURRENT and 4-STABLE. > So I guessed (lotsa discussion in some place like -doc); > that's why I'm not sanguine to stirring up a ruckus, > especially here on -stable.
