There's a clear demarcation between release notes and common bugs.
Release notes documents *intentional* changes; common bugs documents
*unintentional* changes (AKA bugs). :)

The fact that we have a brand new init system with some changes to how
it should be configured is not a bug, it's a new feature: it goes in
release notes. The fact that /etc/inittab both doesn't work to set
default runlevel any more and there's no comment in it to indicate this
is a bug, so it goes on common bugs; we will certainly either make it
work or add a comment to the file alerting you to the fact that it
doesn't work any more, and you should use another method to change the
default boot target (systemd's equivalent of runlevels). So that can be
mentioned in common bugs. I'll add it today, if no-one else does.
