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.
