We could consider though including something "lighter" than the actual release
summary, right?

It's not a bad idea to have something like "What we are currently cooking".
GNOME goes a step further and includes such a section even in it's release notes:

  http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/en/rnlookingforward.html

Cooking something doesn't mean it will actually be served. Hell, it might get
even burnt. =)

I think this is cool (from a marketing perspective), it motivates users to
expect something, to actually look forward to the next version. We could start
with something not very specific/promising and as the test versions are released
become more specific. Besides, by the time of test3 things become pretty solid.
