I don't know how you can say that no *user* cares about Rajeev's
B-Tree contribution on the one hand, but on the other hand add items
about things like hash index crash-safety warnings, or an entire
section on obscure source code changes, with commentary about memory
ordering considerations, for example.

Certainly, that's mostly true. But if it was entirely true, then no
individual would be named on the release notes at all. That would be a
mistake, but not because any ordinary user would care one bit.

I am not going to comment further on this matter.
