Paul may correct me here, but this is what I think is happening.

We were *not* able to make an 'adaptive index', meaning, one that would
detect the browser's language and load the localized welcome/homepage.

Instead we have included a paragraph in English with links to all
localized versions of the release notes.

Unfortunately, I forgot to uncomment this section before sending the
release notes off as a release candidate earlier this week.  This has
been fixed in CVS and should appear in subsequent builds of the package.
It certainly is going to appear in the ISO.

This whole situation is not optimal, but it is what we could do given
the time available. :)
