In the meantime, here's a shot at some release notes text, which I think captures the essence of your (most excellent) explanation. If you think this is OK, I can commit this and do an insta-MFC. (Obviously if you have any suggestions for improvement, I'd be happy to take them. It was hard to distill a two-page email down to a single paragraph, and it's possible things got lost in the translation.) Thanks! Bruce.
