Isn't that listing what is already in the release notes?

Not really.  We can have anyone suggest changes to the release notes up
until release, and there already have been tons of user-suggested
changes.  The issue is if I disagree with a suggested change, and no one
else backs up the suggested change, it gets rejected, just like the
community patch process works.
