Gabriel Reid commented on CRUNCH-63:
------------------------------------

So then the question is: do we want to just focus on writing better JIRA 
summaries (or at least cleaning them up before release)  and include the 
information in the repo, or just try to improve the information in JIRA without 
worrying about including the file.

I just took a look at what Avro does (as that's the project that I generally 
follow the changes most in) and it looks like they do indeed include a dump 
from JIRA in their repo. I don't find this useful myself, as I always just 
consult the release notes in JIRA. As far as I'm concerned, just having a link 
to JIRA in our README will be sufficient to provide this information, but I can 
understand that I may be the only one who feels that way.
