Is this suggestions to be done straight away as in announcing it or are we planning on making it big enough to hit people over the head with in FC5?
Both?
The only thing I can suggest is adding it to the front page of Firefox when you start it up after the install. It can say it there. Or maybe when you find links to download the .iso's. Put a what fedora does and doesn't do section. What type of os it is regarding the fact that its imo semi-bleeding edge.
Then that would be a "Note" that appears at the top of the release notes. I agree with the concept of what you suggest, it certainly makes it fairly obvious. However, I don't know about the idea of making the first, biggest, and most regular information that readers see be a message about MP3 patents.
We reorganized the release notes to be more friendly for a default Firefox page. Not all the changes are in FC4, but the basic idea was to add a "what's new" section and make the table of contents more visible to show what information is in the release notes. The "what's new" contains links to useful information, and would be a natural place to put such a note.
