While I understand that's the approach you've been following, I don't
agree with it.  Providing links gives users a way to find more
information and that applies to each equally.  I don't believe users of
the website and release notes would be confused, upset, or otherwise
misunderstand when two items which are covered in the same place have a
repeated link for each of the items.
