Bug 972256: The release notes on the website have grammar errors, missing
words. Not all my corrections were implemented.

------- Additional Comments from Pete Travis <me(a)petetravis.com>
First, I want to say that I do appreciate your review and your persistence.
There were some embarrassing grammatical faults that might have been missed
without you.
I do want to be clear, however: I'm not going to replace every instance of
'on'
in the text. Translators and users understand the usage of the word 'on' in
contexts other than vertical proximity. Your drawing attention to it does make
it seem used excessively, and I'll keep it in mind with future work.
Many of your suggestions appeared to request rephrasing based on personal
preference, often to the detriment of the technical accuracy of the copy.
However, the review was useful in identifying unclear passages, even if it was
not applied verbatim.
Here's what I changed:
The sentences about syslinux were confusing, and should read better now.
Corrected the spelling error of "Performace" Co-Pilot
Added the 'to' in the crtools section.
Added a 'from' to the node.js docs package sentence
Frankly, I'm a little surprised that you're requesting formal acknowledgement.
