Why is that fallback "dirty"? I don't think that everything mentioned in
the release notes needs a full blown specification. As Thorsten Ziehm
mentioned on GullFOSS today feature mails are what makes features and
enhancements known and they should be the primary source of information
and any automatic process collecting "what's new" in a release should
start there. In case the mail contained a link to a specification it
should perhaps be used instead to avoid duplicating information already
in the spec. So I would like to see the spec being the fallback. And
it's also not dirty. ;-)

Ciao,
