I don't get what's there to re-think, tbh, we *already* link to them in the
website and we will continue to do so after the re-design as well. In fact,
it would even be more prominent because the new start.fpo design will have
a big "get help" link which would link to a help page which will include
all the resources the user would need to get help, *including*
documentation.

Because the release notes are *not* an app. Not a web app and not a normal
app. They are documentation.
 Web apps should conform with the same standards as regular apps.
