Alpha and beta relnotes are only the highlights.  On my small beats it looks 
as if I will have around 100 changed packages.  How are you going to 
describe that on one page?

Karsten and Paul both.  My read is that the process is pretty painful, but 
for 10 (and 11) not so bad because it wasn't my problem!

It really should be pretty close, although I know I was responsible for some 
of Paul's frustration with 10.  The only real difference should be a little 
formatting, especially if we can get that outline straight.

If Ryan can pull off this periodic translation he wants to do, then we will 
be able to see the result a lot better, and hopefully avoid a lot of last 
minute pain.
