+  <para>
+    Traditionally, the Release Notes have been installed in
+    <filename>/usr/share/doc/HTML/fedora-release-notes/</filename>.
+    Over time, most of the documentation stored in the
+    <filename>/usr/share/doc/HTML/</filename> directory tree have moved
+    out of that tree to application specific directories.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    For most users, this change will be invisible because the Release
+    Notes are viewed by selecting the menu choice.  However, some
+    users go directly to the file, or may have their own internal
+    links.  For these users, changing the location without warning
+    before the release could be a problem, so the Release Notes are
+    not being moved this release.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    Beginning with Fedora 18, the Release Notes will be stored in
+    <filename>/usr/share/doc/fedora-release-notes-18.0/</filename>.
