Take a look in the list archives, this topic has been discussed in the past and I believe
that the arguments for keeping the release notes still apply.

Bob,
Specifically which arguments apply.  We already make the Release Notes
available in multiple formats on our website and thousands of people view
them there now.

There is a basic cost-benefit issue here.  There is considerable cost in the
packaging process in terms of time and bandwidth that could be better used
in other ways including improving the Release Notes and other documents.

So personally, I think this comes down to the people(person) doing the
work. Largely that's been John. If he wants to continue to package
this and spend the time and effort in doing so, I am happy for that to
happen. If on the other hand, he doesn't, then he should stop IMO. If
it is really important to someone else they are always free to pick it
up and do that work.

I am interested but I don't know what those arguments were...
