From: "Paul W. Frields" stickster@gmail.com When scrubbing in the past, I tended to look at the page history for each beat to see when the last update was made.
The things that drove that comment were a little unusual. There is some content, for example around locating codecs, that is probably worthwhile to include in the release notes even if it doesn't change. On the other hand, it is easy to overlook some of that stuff that needs update. At the last minute we scrambled around to get updated Flash installtion instuctions on the wiki, but the inappropriate Fedora 9 content actually appeared in the release notes (I just now filed a bug even though I noticed that shortly after release -- my bad).
Right, and I think there's also some precedent for this in the Installer beat, where there are some average-sized changes from release to release, but even the unchanging information is extremely valuable to the user.
