WRT the [[Category:Talking Points]] page - I'm going to go ahead and
move some / most of that stuff to the SOP, to get it looking similar
to some of the other Category: pages for marketing deliverables -
[[Category:Release Slogan]], etc.  Basically it will have a
definition, and then a "to find how how this is done, see SOP", with
the various Talking Points pages from current and older releases
listed at the bottom as pages in that category.
