No :). What is listed already in the release notes is what "you" think 
is notable, which is why I mention the subjective below. What is cool to 
you may not be cool to others etc... I am not saying you are doing a bad 
job just that it is subjective.

Case in point I think the work that Stefan did for this release is 
notable. I believe it is notable for several reasons.

1. Usability

2. Recognition (yes I am aware of the thoughts on that)

3. It was grunt work that should have been done with the original patch 
that didn't get done. Stefan picked up the ball and ran with it and 
produced something that will make our product more usable for the end user.

Tom and you disagreed. I understand the reasoning and I don't actually 
disagree with the thought process but I think the thought process is 
flawed. I do not believe people only look at the release notes for "wow 
cool". I believe they look at them to see who deserves kudos in this 
release.
