Are you just picking nits a bit here?  making the 'release notes'
include urls to details like added,removed etc... is just adding
complexity without addressing the underlying issue about how to get
the detailed material written. Someone still has to write those
details no matter where exactly they are. No matter how you divided
the information up.. if its expected to be available at release time..
its a release note.  Which of the little modules to include in the
document that ships in the isos and which of the little modules to
only make available as urls in the fedora website is a decision you
make after you have the little modules written.  Lets worry about
getting modules written and then worry about the problem of too many
modules.
