I used obfuscation because one cannot see what is behind the tinurl link or
whether or not one already knows this. E.g. when there would be instead a link
to bugzilla I would know, what I can expect from the link and do not need to
follow it. Also I get this information, when I am offline while reading the
release notes. Additionally I saw the advantages of using the wiki or some other
 method and imho using tinyurl in a the release notes looks not very professional.
