It seems to me that the docs that are shipped should only contain 
information in regards to supported versions. Frankly there is no reason 
to ship any release notes except for the version that they are shipping 
with (e.g; there is no reason for 9.0 to be in 9.1). It is just bloat at 
that point when we can point everyone to the website or ftp site.
