I like it - shows multiple improvements to heavily used functionality, while glossing over the incomplete nature of mat
views. It also focuses on "View Improvements" instead of one specific improvement/feature, which compactly sends a
"multipleimprovement" message.  Specifically, the mat view stuff is nice, but the updatable views is going to be
massivefor a lot of people.  That's  a feature that would have save me a lot of time in the past.
 

On another note - are page checksums going to make the cut?  While not exactly flashy, that is a really critical
featurefor mission critical systems - something we have sorely lacked.
