Both?

Then that would be a "Note" that appears at the top of the release
notes.  I agree with the concept of what you suggest, it certainly makes
it fairly obvious.  However, I don't know about the idea of making the
first, biggest, and most regular information that readers see be a
message about MP3 patents.

We reorganized the release notes to be more friendly for a default
Firefox page.  Not all the changes are in FC4, but the basic idea was to
add a "what's new" section and make the table of contents more visible
to show what information is in the release notes.  The "what's new"
contains links to useful information, and would be a natural place to
put such a note.
