It is a SERIOUS problem that Fedora developers, for the most part, do
not make any content changes in Docs/Beats/. The space has been there
for months, they could be making continual notes in public about their
section of the release, but they do not.
We are missing a big opportunity here. I think FDP is doing all it can
to move this forward. I escalated the problem to the board.
When it is this easy[1] to file a release note, there is simply no
excuse not to do it.

I think we are aiming at a different audience for each of the test
releases. We need to agree on and pass on that to the wider folks involved.
+1 ... about time we do that. Make it very clear in the announcement:
test1 -- for developers, use at your own risk, contains many half-baked
items
test2 -- for early adopters, most things should work and we REALLY NEED
YOUR HELP to find what is broken
test3 -- for beta users, this is the place where we MUST HAVE full
community participation; otherwise, when it is released and doesn't work
on our hardware, it is you who suffers the most.
Like that?
